hand basket
Small wicker container
A hand basket is a small basket with a handle, designed to be carried by hand rather than on the back or arm.
The term appears most often in the expression going to hell in a handbasket, meaning deteriorating rapidly or headed for disaster.
Outside this idiom, hand basket sees little modern use.
