STOLEN - Large Native American Woven Basket

David Ezziddine — Sat, 19 Jul 2025 01:09:13 +0000

On 6/23/25, this large woven basket went missing while in UPS custody.

A shipping label was printed at a UPS store in Fresno and placed on a large box (20" x 18" x 14") which contained the basket. The box was then handed over to UPS. However, there is no UPS record of it being scanned into their network nor having been picked up from the store.
