DescriptionRound basket with square base. Thick woven criss-crosses on bottom, and above square base there are thinner vertical strips held together by very thin horizontal strips and four very thick vertical strips on each corner. Around the top there are 5 thick strips going horizontally around; 3 on the outside, 2 on the inside. In between 2 strips on the outside are very small strips placed into a criss-cross pattern. Outside base and thick strips have a shiny red color. Weaving is spaced so that it is possible to see inside the basket through its sides.
