Item description:

Handwoven wicker gathering basket, distinguished by a gently curved, sturdy handle that arches over its oval-shaped body. The basket showcases a traditional weaving technique, with a central square accent at the base and a radiating pattern that strengthens its structure. Its overall form suggests it was crafted for carrying and collecting items, likely for use in markets or gardens. The natural wicker retains its organic, honey-toned finish, lending an authentic, utilitarian appearance. Notably, the craftsmanship shows in the tightly woven handle and the symmetrical weave throughout the basket. 

Mild variations and minor wear in the weaving are consistent with use and handling. A functional and decorative piece, this basket will appeal to collectors of rustic and utilitarian objects, as well as those interested in traditional handcraft.
