A circular tray woven from spruce root and beach grass features a fine, ribbed texture. The solid warm brown center radiates out to two concentric bands of interlocking geometric patterns. An inner ring consists of six repeating L-shaped forms in muted red, black, and tan. Near the rim, a wider band displays larger, stepped motifs in a matching palette. This shallow, dish-like piece showcases meticulous weaving and rhythmic, precise designs.
