A cylindrical tan vessel woven from plant fiber tapers toward a base with four small, protruding corners. The diagonal twill weave creates a texture of repeating V-shapes. The color shifts from light honey at the base to a charred dark brown near the top. A thick band of dark leather reinforces the circular rim. The surface reflects a precise geometric pattern that flows across its slightly bulging midsection.
