Description

Lid and base of a basket, kept separately in the same box. Both the basket and lid have been made using a coiling technique. There is damage to the base of the basket, and the coiling has become loose, creating a hole in the bottom of the basket, and some of the fibres have frayed. The lid remains in a good condition, and the coil is still tightly wound.
