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.
