A miniature, globular plant fiber basket is composed of tightly coiled rows of light tan material. Dark brown vertical accents are woven into the sides at regular intervals, creating a rhythmic contrast against the fine horizontal stitches. The flattened form tapers at the crown into a small circular opening leading to a hollow interior. The meticulous weave highlights the intricate texture of the delicate, repeated fiber work.
