| Description | Tray for a basket used for storage (possibly food) made of woven of bamboo. The handle is stiff and long. It has a lid (82-7-75.3) and a tray (82-7-75.2) that fits right inside the mouth that the lid fits over. The basket is six-sided. There is a braided bamboo bracelet that encircles the handle that can be used to hang the basket off the floor to keep it from mice. There are two Chinese characters 源發 on the outside which suggests it was imported from China. |
