keräyskori

A keräyskori, literally translated as "collection basket" or "gathering basket" from Finnish, is a term that can refer to several types of containers used for collecting or holding items. In a general sense, it is a basket designed for gathering, storing, or displaying a collection of objects.

The specific design and material of a keräyskori can vary greatly depending on its intended use. For instance, it might be a simple woven basket used for collecting berries or mushrooms from nature. In a domestic setting, it could be a decorative basket used for holding mail, newspapers, or craft supplies. Larger keräyskori might be found in public spaces or at events, serving as receptacles for donations, discarded items for recycling, or promotional materials.

The term can also be applied metaphorically. A "digital keräyskori" might refer to a collection of files, links, or information gathered online. In some contexts, it may describe a system or tool designed to aggregate data or resources. The key characteristic remains its function as a holder for a collection, whether tangible or intangible. The specific appearance and function are context-dependent, but the core concept is that of a container for gathered items.
