The reason's below gave me the idea of a functional skep container to be used for keepsakes from a wedding, a box for 'thriftiness' along with hundreds of other uses.
For centuries the skep has been a sign of prosperity and thriftiness (Lloyds bank first symbol).
The skep also, was traditionally given for a wedding present in the countryside for centuries. This essential gift supplied the new couple with food, pollination and useful wax for items such as candles. Straw was also recognised as being the traditional gift for a second wedding anniversary.
