A cylindrical, plant fiber vessel tapers to a square base marked by four small, rounded protrusions. Warm brown strips create a dense, diagonal weave across the exterior, punctuated by a small hole near the bottom right. A thick, dark leather band encases the circular rim, contrasting with the textured body. The vessel transitions from the rustic, patterned weave of the body to a smooth, dark border at the top.
