A cylindrical, tan fiber basket features a matching flat lid with a small central knob. A fine, grid-like texture covers the body, framed by horizontal bands of alternating red and dark brown squares at the top and bottom. Scattered across the surface are small, cross-shaped motifs in muted red, green, and blue. The lid sits flush against the rim, mirroring the vessel's decorative patterns and uniform twined appearance.
