Summary
An 'Ali Baba' type wicker (straw) linen basket for a doll's house (from 'Bella Vista' doll's house - inventory number 661761). The circular lid is hinged at one side with the same straw, with a loop at the opposite side. This should fasten the lid using a clear plastic bead attached to the side of the basket, but the loop is broken and frayed.
