  • Handmade: Yes
  • Condition: This antique lunch basket has a few missing fibers on the bottom. The leather is no longer supple, but it is still very well attached to basket. I did not open the basket for fear I would never get it closed properly again with this beautiful elaborate knotting, so cannot comment on the interior.

    This was purchased in an antique shop
    in Ethiopia in the 1970s,
    so it was an
    antique back then, have no idea of the
    age,
    but it was obviously used for a time.
    I can see that the
    lid has an interior lip
    to keep the contents safe.
    I did not open
    the basket because I was afraid
    I
    would never be able to duplicate the lovely
    knotting. I am happy to answer questions.
