An antique pack-style utility basket constructed from woven wood splints, likely ash. The basket features a square base that transitions to a circular rim, a form characteristic of traditional North American indigenous basketry. It is executed in a plain weave using wide, flat splints. The top is finished with a heavy, steam-bent wooden rim featuring two integral carved loops or ears, designed to facilitate the attachment of a handle or carrying straps. The base displays handwritten characters in black ink, possibly numerical such as 80 or 50.
