Basket is rectangular but with rounded corners; sides flare out somewhat from base to rim. Made of sewn coils of wrapped cedar root bundles. Among the horizontal rows of the body are two rows of imbricated diamond shaped designs near the top and a single line of gammadion crosses near the bottom. Several thongs of hide are attached as loops through the basket near the rim; a braided fibre cord with a wide handle is also attached near the rim. The tumpline handle is woven with pink and brown wool in a diagonal pattern.
