A low, round bowl woven from tan sedge coils tapers inward toward the top opening. A dense fringe of long black feathers circles the rim, their tips curving toward our right. Tiny, vibrant tufts of yellow, green, and red feathers are interspersed across the coiled exterior, creating a speckled pattern. These dark feathers form a thick, textured border around the upper edge, contrasting with the light, horizontal coils of the vessel.
