A low, round bowl is coiled from tan sedge fibers, creating fine horizontal ridges across the body. A dense band of yellow tufts wraps the upper exterior, interspersed with small orange and black plumes. Long black feathers project from the rim toward the left and right. Resting on a flat base, the vessel highlights the contrast between rigid plant fibers and delicate, wispy feathers.
