In these days of cardboard and plastic, it’s easy to forget how important baskets were to medieval life. Woven of grasses, reeds or cane, rushes, or wicker (most often from the flexible branches of willow, hazel, or basswood), baskets ranged in size from tiny to enormous. Some, made to specific sizes, served as standard measures. Many were used to transport as well as store the produce of fields and gardens.
