A circular, slightly domed twined basket features alternating concentric rings of light tan and warm reddish-brown. From a small, light tan center, the rings spiral outward to a dark brown braided rim, creating a fine, ridged texture throughout. The pattern remains uniform across the surface, except for a small section on the left edge where the weaving appears thicker and looser.
