A wide, squat basket coiled from bulrush and sedge features a tan exterior accented by dark brown geometric zigzags. The vessel curves inward toward a narrowed opening, with rows of small red beads featuring white centers stitched along the upper shoulder and inner rim. Fine horizontal rows emphasize the woven texture, while repeating dark patterns create a sharp contrast across the vessel's rounded surface.
