A deep, rounded sumac and bulrush bowl curves upward to a wide, circular opening. The light tan, coiled surface is decorated with horizontal bands of dark brown linked diamonds forming rhythmic zigzags. These geometric patterns encircle the vessel from the base to the rim, repeating at regular intervals on both the interior and exterior walls. The fine, coiled rows of the weave provide a textured backdrop for the dark, structured motifs.
