Daily Photo - Basketry at the Petrie Museum

The Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology, one of the most fascinating museums in London (and one which seems to be very little known even amongst real Egyptology enthusiasts) has an online database of its complete collection. Here are some examples of basketry taken from the database. These are just screen-grabs taken from the Petrie's website but if you visit the website yourself, and you are using MS Explorer 5.5 or above, you will be able to rotate the images to get a better view of them.
