Woven agricultural basket from the Etna area (panaru) in Catania

The woven agricultural basket, often locally called “panaru”, is made with plant fibers such as reed, rush, or wicker gathered in the countryside and woven by hand. The structure is flexible yet sturdy, designed to carry weight and to be easily transported during harvest. Its shape is simple and functional: a stable base, high sides, and a tight weave that protects the contents. Each piece shows small variations in the pattern and curvature, marks of manual work and the artisan’s experience.
