A juncus and sumac basket, a globular vessel, features a light tan surface textured with coiled horizontal ridges. Three stylized, human-like figures in dark brown and golden-yellow geometric shapes circle the exterior. Each figure has a flared head and a rectangular body with two downward-pointing legs. The rounded form tapers slightly at the top to a wide circular opening.
