A cylindrical spruce root and grass basket features two stacked bands of repeating geometric patterns wrapping its circumference. Against a tan background, interlocking rectangular blocks in dark brown and reddish-pink create bold motifs. Each block features a central reddish-pink bar framed by dark brown outlines. Horizontal rows of weaving create a fine, ribbed texture across the entire exterior and rim, which remains a solid natural brown on the interior.
