A golden-tan, twined grass bowl consists of a rounded body and a flat, fitted lid. Three horizontal bands of dark and reddish-brown weave encircle the vessel. The top and bottom bands form solid lines, while the central band features a repeating pattern of small triangles. Concentric dark rings decorate the lid's center. The tight, textured weave defines the vessel's shape, emphasizing the rhythmic precision of these dark, geometric patterns.
