The basket features a broad circular opening that tapers to a compact square base, creating a stable, well-balanced form ideal for carrying and storage.

The rim is reinforced and fitted with wrapped reed handles woven directly into the structure, a traditional construction method used on higher-grade household baskets intended to bear weight. The weaving is even and skillful throughout, with sturdy vertical stakes and tight horizontal weavers that give the basket its substantial feel.

Warm natural reed tones and gentle patina reflect age and long-term use. A practical yet sculptural piece well suited for laundry, blankets, firewood, entryway storage, or as a textural accent in traditional, farmhouse, or collected interiors.
