On page 200 of the 1982 edition of Mathematics in the Time of the Pharaohs, Gillings offers some drawings of AE basket shapes (Figure 18.3). He states that he has made these drawings "from murals, etc".

One of these baskets is in the shape of a half cylinder - that is, a cylinder that is cut in half lengthwise rather than crosswise. Does anyone know what mural or other resource this image might come from?

Also, as a half cylinder of this sort looks much like a cradle, I'm wondering if anyone might know the AE word for a cradle?

Many many thanks. And a Happy New Year to all.
