A tall, cylindrical vessel takes shape through tan fibers, displaying a fine, ribbed texture. Horizontal bands of red and brown rectangles encircle the top and bottom. Between these, rows of small, cross-shaped motifs in red, green, and light blue repeat across the exterior. The dense weave terminates in a slightly irregular rim, where the colorful patterns are faintly visible on the interior walls.
