SCIRPIC'ULA or SIRPIC'ULA. A small portable basket of platted rush (scirpus) employed for a variety of purposes, as for holding flowers (Prop. iv. 2. 40.); vegetables (Lucil. ap. Non.); as a fishing basket. (Plaut. Capt. iv. 2. 37. &c.) The example (Scirpicula/1.1) is from a Pompeian painting, and represents a flower-basket placed on a bench beside the garland makers (coronarii), engraved at p. 208.
