A bulbous, tan twined grass basket curves inward to a circular opening. The surface is patterned with fine horizontal weaving ridges and broad diagonal bands of reddish-brown that wrap around the body. These bands are finished with jagged, step-like edges on both sides. A thin brown line circles the top rim, while repeating reddish-brown motifs descend diagonally across the vessel against a lighter tan background.
