Flower Basket in the Shape of a Cicada

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a woven basket in the shape of a cicada, with a dark brown color and a textured surface. The basket features two large wings on either side, made from woven material, likely rattan or bamboo. A long, thin piece runs down the middle of the cicada, possibly a stem or handle. Two small loops are at the top of the basket. The background is a plain gray color. The title of the piece is "Flower Basket in the Shape of a Cicada" by an unknown artist.
