DescriptionRounded basket with lid. Top and bottom surfaces flat. Base contains more capacity space than lid area, although diameter of bottom surface is not quite as large as on the lid. The lid is attached to the base by 3 v-shaped twisted fibers connected together. Basket is given its shape by horizontal fiber strips with smaller vertical strips woven over them. Rim of base indented so that the lid sits snuggly over it. While the lid is evenly rounded on the sides, the base slopes slightly inward.
