Summary
A doll's house basket made from the hard shell of an almond nut (from 'Bella Vista' doll's house - inventory number 661761). The top half is cut away to form the handle and the inside of the basket is where the nut grew. The base of the shell is flattened to enable the basket to stand upright. The basket is painted dark brown.
