Sweet Old Handmade Cricket or Canary Carrying Cage leather sack England artist William Burgess (1805–1861)--I'm not entirely certain if made as a cricket cage or as one for carrying a canary home for the Parisian burd market, say but whatever the case, a very sweet old handmade wood and wire cage, with some writing in pencil on the face of it that I can't quite read.
