This is a unique antique primitive Chinese hand made wooden and metal rice and grain harvest bucket.   

Shows wear consistent with age and use. These date back to the late 1800's. Approximately 9 1/2" tall and 14" square.  

This fine example has a hand carved ear of corn on two sides making it extremely rare. Corners are finger jointed and reinforced with metal.

It may be used as a  flower basket or magazine tray.   It is a wonderful decoration piece or collectable.
