Grain storage? Hamper?

Wondering what this bad boy is? Beautiful sheath of wheat carving on top and shape have me thinking it’s likely for grain storage. Would make a good hamper too though.

 

To hide big bag of flour?

 

looks well made and well used.........nice chunk o' wood !!!

 

at first i thought it was a pulpit...the wheat being the ' staff of life ' ......
not for loose grain, fer sure...it's too thin and tall..

 

How big is it?

 

looks maybe a yard tall...??

 

Likin' this. Cool!!!

 

May be for French baguette bread.

 

That's a "sheaf" of wheat, not a sheath.

Loose grain - no - it isn't old enough to consider that.
"hamper" not an appropriate size.

But I have no other ideas, so hopefully someone else does.

 

yes...i think this is spot on !!!!!

 

I love the carving on top! It is a nice chunk. I think seller is asking $40. Maybe I’ll try to cut them in half and use it for loose posters and prints. My tubes are disappearing from shipping needs.

 

I would guess komokwa was right at a few feet. I don’t own it though. I may, but not yet.

 

No shit! Look at that. Never knew such a thing existed. How cool! Thanks!

 

Good call. I’d like to think it’s because I was in a hurry but I’m not so sure I haven’t spelled it that way before!

 

Ah son of a gun!!! They sold it while I was out today. Bummah!!!

 

too bad.....I think that's a miss......& 40....for that work...with age...was to my mind, a steal !
Oh, well.......

 

Typically the type of thing I would have grabbed first and asked questions second. With Covid and no work I’ve been trying to be slightly more judicious. Of course this is the one thing I actually practice that judgement on. I bought a car full of other junk this weekend I only think I’ll do ok on, lol.

 

i understand......

 

I've seen these all over France. Typical baguette box. Nice one too.
