A collection of woven wicker and rattan baskets in various forms and sizes. The assortment includes traditional shopping and flower baskets featuring arched carrying handles, alongside shallow circular, oval, and octagonal trays. The pieces exhibit multiple weaving techniques, including dense lattice work, open-work borders, and radiating base patterns. The materials range from natural light reed to dark-stained willow. One circular tray is finished with a pale yellow dye or paint to the exterior rim. Another basket contains a fragment of a newspaper. The group demonstrates a variety of functional and decorative designs, from deep vessels with twisted handles to flat bread baskets and leaf-shaped dishes. A small white rectangular adhesive label is visible on the inner rim of the yellow-edged basket, but the characters are not legible.
