African Coil Basket, Tray Shape, Yesu-Njix

Here's a very pretty vintage african coil basket. Long tray shaped basket has an "S" shape done in green and purple that contrasts with the natural beige fibers. Also woven into the design is the word "YESU" on one side and "NJIX on the other. Large size basket is 16" long, 10" wide and 2.25" high. Slight gap between two rows on either end of the basket, perhaps for some sort of rope hanger to be inserted. There's a good chance this was a church offering basket. Very well done. I'm not sure of the country/tribe or exact material this one is made of.
