DescriptionOblong, plain-woven oak woodsplint basket with a rectangular base. The oval rim is single wrapped and double reinforced, with half-round interior and exterior reinforcement. The rim consists of split reed, forming the inside edge and outside edge, bound together by splints. The ends of the splints are cut to a point and tucked in on the outside face of the basket, forming a decorative pattern. Two carved handles fit between two edges of the rim and project upward; they are located on the shorter sides of the basket. The base of the basket is closed.
