A light tan grass basket with a wide, pear-shaped body tapers upward into a conical lid. The vessel is patterned by thick, reddish-brown diagonal bands with stepped edges wrapping around the form. Several horizontal brown rings encircle the rim and the lid's base. A tight, uniform weave creates a textured surface across the entire exterior, which culminates in a pointed peak at the top.
