Weave is fine, with two lines of imbricated design around midpoint, rectangles each with an interior panel, in colours of purple, blue and light green- likely faded. The lid fits over the mouth of the basket and is concave at centre with a convex finial. Designs similar to those on the basket encircle the finial.
