A dark brown, cylindrical wood vessel features a bulging body and a solid handle attached to the right. Deep diagonal lines form interlocking geometric patterns that completely cover the vessel's exterior, mimicking a woven texture. Horizontal bands of parallel lines wrap around the rim and base. While the body appears matte and textured from the dense carvings, the interior and handle display a smooth, polished finish.
