Basket

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white photo of a basket with a handle. The basket has a rounded rectangular shape with a small circular opening at the top. The body of the basket features two rows of thin woven strips that form a crisscrossing design. It tapers inward to form the base. Two thin metal rods emerge from either side near the top and arch up to form the handle which attaches to the basket on either side with a small piece of woven material on each side. The background is plain and light-colored.
