A small, bulbous basket of light tan plant fibers curves upward from a narrow base. Vertical, tightly woven ribs texture the rounded sides, which taper inward to a circular opening. The natural beige fibers create a uniform, repeating pattern across the entire surface. At the top, the rim rolls slightly inward toward the hollow center, defining the squat, vessel-like form.
