A basket made of coils of thick plant cane, sewn together with thin pieces of plant fibre. The base is round, and narrows before flaring out to form a wider rim, which is edged with a wide piece of plant cane. The plant fibre and cane is natural in colour, with some black-coloured fibre woven in to form eight diamond shapes on the surface.
