Object 4: Clothes Hamper?

I'm not really sure exactly what this item is, but I'm guessing it's a dirty clothes hamper. In any case, I know that its purpose is to hold and carry other objects. Why it's owner threw it out I'm not sure, after cutting some frayed edges, painting it, and jeweling it it looked better and was still in good enough shape to complete its intended task. I guess most of the time, when people know they can just get something new, they don't think twice before throwing away something old, even if it can still be used.
