A wide, rounded basketry bowl tapers from a deep, curved base. The dark brown surface is composed of dense, horizontal rows of tight weaving, creating a repetitive, bumpy texture. Three parallel bands of light tan material encircle the rim. The wide opening reveals a flash of red pigment along the interior edge, while the exterior displays the organic irregularities of the twined fibers.
