Box with lid and handle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a box with a lid and handle by artist Walter Schott. The box is made of a woven material resembling wood or bamboo, featuring a cylindrical shape with a flat top and bottom. The body of the box displays a woven pattern. A handle, crafted from a single piece of curved material, is attached to the box on either side, near the top. The lid is flat and features a woven design. A loop handle is positioned at the front of the box, just below the lid. The box appears to have a dark color with lighter areas indicating wear. The background of the image is white.
