These pieces were popular souvenirs through the 1930s and remain highly valued antiques today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antique American Indian Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47316247576741,"sku":"25-0745","price":475.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/6071\/5685\/files\/25-0745_3.jpg?v=1766097480","url":"https:\/\/antiqueamericanindianart.com\/products\/makah-woven-bottle-basket-with-lid","provider":"Antique American Indian Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
