Pacific NW Native American Indian Basket

One of several baskets given to our grandmother over decades of friendships with tribal members. Each basket had the information regarding tribe and maker however over time a family member took it upon themselves and sold the baskets and discarded the information. I managed to retain this basket. Retiring and with no place to properly display it we are selling it now.
Unable to pinpoint the tribal origin but the provenance is solid with our family the sole owner since weaved. Perhaps a member can shed some light based on the unique design. Some possibilities are the Quinaiult, Chehalis, Squaxin, Nisqually, and Hoh.
The basket displays well but it has damage. We're certain this basket would at one time have held water but damage to the bottom including holes will prevent that. There is some loss of weave along the top rim and some damage to the structural makings of the bottom as shown. Not a perfect pristine example but a old basket made by a weaver with excellent skills that has survived to be admired placed a worthy spot.

Notes: Damage as stated
