The Global Egyptian Museum

Basket made from bundles of plant fibres, twisted in spirals and assembled in flat strands. It is comprised of a hemispherical basket with a small added base. The rim is pierced by six holes, placed at regular intervals, through which straps were strung, thus allowing for the basket to be suspended or for the lip to be secured in place. This lid is conical in shape and has a truncated top. A knot, made of fabric and located on the interior, opens out on the outside of the lid as handle, enabeling for it to be lifted.  This basket was placed within a burial that also contained two unguent jars and their respective sticks.

Panier construit de faisceaux de brins végétaux montés en spirale et assemblés par des brins plats, composé d'une corbeille hémisphérique au petit fond plat rapporté. Le bord est percé de six trous régulièrement espacés, dans lesquels passaient des cordelettes et destinés soit à la suspension, soit à fixer le couvercle. Ce dernier est conique. Le sommet est tronqué et un noeud intérieur de textile s'épanouit à l'extérieur et permet de le soulever. Ce panier fut déposé dans une sépulture qui contenait aussi deux vases à onguent et leur bâtonnet.
