Form & Structure
• The basket is crafted in the shape of a rabbit, complete with upright ears, four legs, and a rounded body.
• The hollow body serves as the basket’s open container, accessible from the top, with a reinforced rim.

Material & Technique
• It is made from woven wicker/reed, giving it a rustic, hand-crafted texture.
• The weave is tight and consistent, with variations to shape the head, legs, and ears.

Details
• The ears are long and slightly angled, made with a more open weave compared to the body, adding a sense of lightness.
• The eyes appear to be wood giving the rabbit a bit of character.
• The legs and paws are woven separately and attached, giving dimension and an animated, crouched stance.

Function & Style
• This basket could serve as a decorative storage piece (perhaps for Easter, candy, or small household items).
• It has a folk-art, vintage aesthetic, often associated with mid-20th-century or earlier handwoven animal baskets. See less
