- This article is about the physical container. For other meanings, see Basket (disambiguation).
A basket is a woven container which is traditionally constructed from stiff fibres, often made of willow. *]. The top is either left open or the basket may be fitted with a lid.
Historical usage
Wood, bamboo, wheat, other grasses, rushes, twigs, osiers or wicker are often used to make baskets, but they are also made today out of plastic. The first baskets were woven by gatherers to collect fruits, grains, nuts and other edible plant materials to be brought back and eaten, as well as for holding fish by early fishing peoples. A creel is a basket made especially to hold fish.The plant life available in a region affects the choice of material, which in turn influences the weaving technique, and the nature of the resulting basket. Rattan and other members of the Arecaceae or palm tree family, the thin grasses of temperate regions, and broad-leaved tropical bromeliads each require a different method of twisting and braiding to be made into a basket.
