Small round basket with lid. The basket (part a) is made in a fine, tight weave with two horizontal lines of open work on either side of a dark brown flower pattern at midpoint. Around the base is a bright orange stripe edged with dark brown. The rim is a wide strip of cedar attached to the body by woven grass. The lid (part b) is flat, slightly indented at centre, with a round knob. It is also decorated with openwork weaving, orange and brown encircling lines, and an orange and brown geometric pattern around the knob. A blue line circles the lid at midpoint, faded on the exterior but vibrant on the underside.
