A circular wood and wicker container features a low, weathered red base secured by a prominent brass latch. Its dome-shaped lid is woven with vertical ridges and traces of red pigment, crowned by a cylindrical brass fitting with thin straps extending downward. Small brass loops are attached to either side. The vessel's tiered composition blends organic textures with metallic hardware, presenting a worn, functional appearance across its two-part construction.
