Rectangular basket with low sides. The exterior is woven with thin strips of grass with alternating off-white and reddish-brown checks and zigzags. The weaving continues over the handle. The interior is woven with a standard basket weave of large strips of undyed reed or plant fibre. The rim of the basket and the handle appear to be made of strips of grass, and the base is woven from large strips of grass. (Note: basket has undergone repairs since the photo was taken.)
