Do you happen to have the measurements for this basket, along with period used. This is a very interesting items and I think could be a useful items to have for an impresssion and use.

It look in its present condition the basket is 10-12 cm wide and I would estimate 20-25 cm tall. I would have to assume if reconstructed one would have to take in to consideration 2000 years of water and shrinkage...
I sent this to a master basket weaver here in the US and she may take this in as a project.
