A short, cylindrical basket woven from tan grass features a surface of tight, uniform stitches. A wide band of dark green and golden-yellow interlocking zigzags circles the center. Near the base, two parallel reddish-brown lines ring the vessel, while a thick band of dark-brown material forms the top rim. The rhythmic twining process creates a consistent texture across the cylindrical body.
