Yaet refers to a large wicker basket traditionally associated with agricultural activities in rural Kashmir. Tied to the back, these baskets are primarily used by farmers during the harvesting season. In addition, these baskets are also used for collecting firewood and grass.
The basket is in poor state of maintenance. The shaft (neck) of the basket is detached from the body.
