A wide, cylindrical bowl tapers to a rounded base, its surface densely stitched with beargrass and cedar root. Small, light tan diamonds climb in repeating diagonal rows across a dark brown background, creating a rhythmic, geometric texture. A thick, braided dark brown rim borders the top. The meticulous weaving covers the entire exterior, featuring a grid-like pattern where the light grass alternates with the dark root.
