Cradle (bed)

A cradle is an infant bed which rocks but is non-mobile.

[1] It is distinct from a typical bassinet which is a basket-like container on free-standing legs with wheels.

A carbonized cradle was found in the remains of Herculaneum left from the destruction of the city by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 CE.
