A cross-patterned punnet from Ščekurja

A punnet made of a single sheet of birch bark. The punnet has a lid. The sides of the punnet are reinforced with a dyed brown sheet of birch bark with scratched patterns and birch-bark hoops on both sides of the punnet. On the bottom of the punnet is the pattern “cross” made by scratching. The lid is a rectangle with rounded edges and it is sewn from two sheets of birch bark, of which the top sheet is decorated with scratched patterns. The design on the lid is the same as on the bottom. The punnet is from the village of Ščekurja.
