Rectangular wooden tray with bent-wood handles. The tray has half-lap joints, with a beveled top edge, secured by three nails secured along the vertical edge of one side. The handles are secured, one end each, to the exterior of the long side, spanning the depth of the tray, by a metal screw. The handles' are similarly bent, though asymmetrical. The tray's bottom has nine thin wire rods running width-wise spaced approximately an inch apart, and bisected by a single thin wire rod. The rods go through the sides and are secured by rivets on the exterior of the tray.
