A basket is a container that is generally made of woven vegetable matter. Typically during the medieval period, this material would be a wood like willow.

Viking Baskets

Boards interpreted as Viking baskets have been recovered that have a wooden base and a wooden lid, which was carved with a basic horse shape.

15th Century Baskets

Hieronymus Bosch depicts woven baskets in some of his paintings. These have handles on the side, wooden lids and a strap that loops across the shoulders.
