French wooden trug basket constructed with tapered plank sides and an intentionally split bentwood handle.

Trugs were utilitarian gathering baskets used in rural France for collecting herbs, flowers, and garden produce. This example reflects early 20th-century provincial construction, assembled from joined wooden panels with a shaped base.

Surface wear consistent with age and use. Small area of glitter paint residue present on handle.
