A wide, bulbous, tan-colored basket curves toward a flat base, topped with a short, flared neck. The surface is detailed with horizontal coiled fibers creating a ribbed texture. Dark brown nested squares form diagonal patterns spiraling across the body. Near the rim, smaller, solid dark blocks accent the woven neck. The geometric motifs provide a rhythmic contrast against the naturally toned material, highlighting the vessel's sturdy, rounded form.
