Wicker Basket

A small, woven wicker basket sits among Professor Chronotis' cluttered books and papers in his rooms at St Cedd's College. Its light tan reeds are tightly knit, forming a sturdy base with two modest handles protruding from the sides. The basket shows signs of frequent use, with slight unevenness in its weave and faint discoloration where hands have gripped it over time.
