A flared, open-mouthed tan bowl widens from a narrow base to a broad rim. Fine horizontal coils create a ribbed texture across the exterior. Two dark brown bands encircle the vessel, framing a central register where interlocking geometric spirals wind in sharp right angles. The top band sits slightly below the rim, while the lower band rests near the base, anchoring the bold motifs within the vessel's warm, woven body.
