A circular, shallow twined bark tray features a medium-brown woven surface detailed with concentric geometric patterns in tan, yellow, and reddish-brown. Two bands, one at the rim and a smaller inner ring, display interlocking angular lines. Between these, a ring of slanted, overlapping shapes creates a spiraling effect. Fine lines radiate from the center across the textured surface, which sits against a dark gray background.
