Plastic wire baskets
These used to be ubiquitous a while ago (IIRC, I used to carry one of these daily to school as my lunch basket at some point; we still have one such basket at home), but photos seem hard to find on the internet (or I’m just missing the right keywords). So, photos:

I had one made for me as a child and have spent years trying to find information on how to make and the name of the plastic stuff to make them

We used this to carry haNNu-kAyi to the temple. Wonder if this has got anything to do with the observance of maDi :P
