All the way from Egypt

Found it at the thrift store for $ 4.99. Hand woven, natural fibres and dyes. There were bigger pieces of baskets but very expensive. This is all I got.

Thanks Siri and Sra.

Siri, you are right. More often than not there is junk which is why I usually don't go to the thrift store but a friend who visits regularly called to say they had some brand new bicycles for $20. I needed one for Jr so I went and also found the basket. It is still expensive for a thrift store but since it was all the way from Egypt and all...

You do get a lot of lovely handicrafts in Egypt, I hear. And you managed to get one closer home.
