A circular juncus and sumac tray is formed by tightly coiled tan rows. Radiating from the center, the fine ribbed texture expands into a wide, shallow dish. A plain inner section transitions into an outer rim featuring four equidistant dark brown geometric patterns. Each motif consists of stacked, jagged bars with angular edges. The composition emphasizes radial symmetry, contrasting the neutral repeating coils with bold, dark stepped shapes.
