Handcrafted container made from recycled rubber, most likely sourced from old tyres (as suggested by the ribbed texture, sturdiness, and residues of metal or textile threads on the edges). This type of object, associated with folk art style, is generally used as a planter, pot cover, or storage basket (for firewood, for example, or an umbrella). Its material makes it extremely resistant to weather, shocks, and rot. It is a product of recycling craftsmanship (upcycling), often originating from countries like Morocco or India, where tyre recycling is a specialty. The pieces are cut, turned inside out (to expose the inside of the tyre), and sewn or riveted by hand. In the last photo, an old label can be seen with the inscription "Parcel No." This suggests that the object may have been used in the past for transporting goods or was labelled during a previous shipment. Diameter 35, height 52.
