A tan, coiled basket flares from a rounded base to a wide, circular rim. Horizontal coils create a ribbed texture across the exterior. Two bands of dark brown zigzags encircle the midsection, their mirrored points joined by a small diamond at the center. These geometric motifs repeat around the bowl, creating a rhythmic horizontal design that contrasts against the natural tan of the woven fibers.
