A bulbous, light tan grass bowl curves inward toward a narrow rim and a flat base. The finely ribbed surface is decorated with three horizontal bands of dark brown. Solid lines encircle the top and bottom, framing a wider central band featuring a repeating geometric diamond motif. The dense, twined weaving creates a uniform texture, where the natural fibers provide a neutral ground for the structured, dark ornamentation.
