This is the Full Moon of June 10, 2025, a Moon that was especially low as the Moon was at its most southerly declination of ~5º below the ecliptic at this time, at a "major lunar standstill" or lunistice, a position it reaches only once every 18.5 years.

A more than 3000-year-old Egyptian basket of coiled palm fibre with a lid.
Baskets served as household containers and were frequently placed in tombs, containing grave goods such as jewelry or food offerings.
The basket has been remarkably preserved because of Egypt's arid desert climate. 1/2
