A circular, twined grass cover features a flat top and shallow vertical sides. Spiraling from the center, three curved forms in dark green, reddish-brown, and golden tan sweep across a pale tan ground. Around the perimeter, thin horizontal bands of reddish-brown and tan alternate in a repeating pattern. The entire piece is meticulously rendered with a fine, tight weave of small rectangular stitches, creating a uniform and repetitive texture.
