DescriptionWoven basket similar in shape to a bowl. Strips run horizontally around the basket to give it its shape. These are woven in a more vertical diagonal pattern. Underneath the diagonal is a sideways v-shaped pattern. The strips with the diagonal weaving and the v-shaped weaving repeat in a pattern for every other horizontal band. There is a small twisted fiber piece that juts out slightly on the side, but is too close to be an effective handle. On the inside of this spot there is a piece of paper. There is another twisted handle on the opposite side as well. Spirals inward in a coil.
