A cylindrical, tan twined grass basket features a flat-topped lid. Around its center, a wide band of dark green and tan stepped geometric patterns zigzags horizontally, bordered by thin, deep red bands. The lid displays a red and green swirling spiral on top, while similar red bands wrap around its sides. The vessel is uniform in its tight, woven texture, showcasing intricate designs in natural, red, and dark green fibers.
