Hi Gretchen- Great question! We believe that the striped yarn is cotton. There is wool fabric in another area of the piece, however. I'm not sure what the basketry fiber is.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Hello Pest Listers- I have an African piece that has some casings on the inside. Most likely they are very old and from Africa, Yoruba tribe. Any guesses as to what kind of insect these casings might belong to? The Black square is 1" Thanks for any suggestions, our curator and conservator are curious. -Mary Nicolett _____________________________________ MARY NICOLETT | she/her/hers Senior Preparator, IPM Coordinator [cid:image001.png@01D97F7B.9AA57560]<https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fdma.org&c=E,1,eOC9LzSRSl803PG2yUH7hDcBBWspO9gnTRAmTYom9MIv_W3mpupZR3PYHjQ7n_IgCx1AhcFGGK309D3XknY2QRfB5uXzGep2ujAN1WgUmYhAIfrGV6Tnuw7BLg,,&typo=1> Office: 214-922-1244 Cell: 214-620-8858 1717 N.
