Description

CMA Bulletin, December 1930
A warm, muted tan basket bowl tapers from a wide rim down to a narrow, flat base. The entire exterior is textured with fine horizontal ridges of coiled material. Encircling the middle, a decorative band features a row of diamond shapes outlined in dark brown with golden-tan interiors. A thin line links these geometric forms in a rhythmic sequence, providing a dark contrast to the vessel's uniform, light brown body.
