A bulrush and sedge bowl, a low, rounded vessel, features a wide opening and a dense, coiled texture. Narrow horizontal ribs cover the tan exterior, decorated with a repeating pattern of connected dark brown diamonds. One complete diamond shape faces us, while others wrap toward the sides. The bowl curves inward to a smooth rim, its surface defined by uniform stitches creating a finely textured appearance from the base to the top.
