i know local asian shops sell flat baskets but they are for chappits to sit on so dont really have sides i am going in to birmingham tomorrow shopping in the asian clothing area will have alook for you to see what they got if you want.

do you want one with little sides and what do you want to use it for so i know what tolook for.

I live in a rural village and we don’t have any asian shop of any kind around here. It’s the shape and style of the basket I like, for some reason I can’t paste the picture. The basket is round with a flat bottom and rounded low sides, hand woven with natural coloured pattern, African in style. Not very good at describing things. It’s more like a shallow bowl. Would like to use it as a point of interest where I could group collection of object linked to a theme or event. Idea came from Sarah’s book on baskets and bags.I saw one for sale a few weeks ago on line from a early years supplier but I can’t find it now, I know they also sold zulu bags.
