Basket

The basket sides bulge at centre, tapering slightly to the rim, reinforced by a band of cedar bark. The basket also tapers slightly towards the base. The centre of the base has a simple square weave of cedar bark. The lid is decorated with a six-point star, faded to red and olive green, which incorporates the knob at centre. The imbricated designs have faded on the exterior basket sides and lid.
