Thank you for your interest in the item. This is a lidded basket purchased at a flea market. The seller also wasn't sure of the details, saying it might be from Asia, but it has a texture like it's woven from aquatic plants. It's 13 centimeters tall, and 14 centimeters wide at its widest point. It would be interesting as a small item container, or perhaps hanging. Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned, as it is a used item that has passed through someone else's hands.
