egg basket

Farm collection container

A basket designed to hold and transport eggs, typically with a wire or woven construction that allows air circulation and cushions fragile shells.

The phrase don't put all your eggs in one basket warns against concentrating resources or hopes in a single place, where one accident could destroy everything.
