Woven basket. Basket is low and shallow, flaring widely from a small base toward lip. Construction is plant fibre woven into thick tubes, winding up from bottom centre to rim. Brown and orange dyed fibre is used to create the outline of a four pointed shape across the basket. Tube construction is held together by evenly placed, twisted threads incorporated into the weave that run vertically. Rim has a freestanding scalloped edge made from the same tube as the basket.
