    It is huge woven basket: 21" dim top, flat part of bottom 9" dim & 8" H. It is partial damaged at the top rim. Thank you.
    P.S. In person colors are not so rich and basket is not so shiny. Just day was very sunny. :joyful: DSC01229.JPG DSC01235.JPG DSC01233.JPG DSC01231.JPG DSC01236.JPG

    Wish I had better news, but this is a contemporary import from Pakistan. with little if any resale value, especially with damage. New, they wholesale for under $20.

    (That gives you an idea of how much the workers in Pakistan receive for weaving a basket like this. And they are imported by the thousands.)

    komokwa The Truth is out there...!

    and now for the good news....

    you could fill it with fruit and use it as a grand centerpiece on your dining room table.................
    OR

    Wear it as a rain hat.....

    OR

    A large frizbee......

    @Taupou, @komokwa Thanks for fast information and for advises :p. First of all, I am absolutely not disappoint. I paid $1.99 for it and there was only one reason why I bought it: I will give it to my daughter for using it as a bed for her adapted 2 cats & 3 tiny dogs. Or she could use it for animals toys. I am sure they will like it. :joyful: But of course this kind of used item NEVER would be used for fruit and located at my table. Brrrrrrrrrrrr :hilarious::hilarious::hilarious:

    , I agree completely with you on not using it for fruit (or other foods) and not having it placed on a table where people are eating.;)

    It is already outside "breathing". Hope neighbor's cats won't mark it. :hilarious:
