Basket (part a) and basket base (part b) resembling the shape of a duck. The basket (part a) or the body of the duck-shape, has one end that is wide and round. This then angles inwards and tapers to a narrow point. From this point, the basket widens and resembles a duck's large tail feather. At the widest part of the body, the basket rises with coils to a large purple coiled knob with two coiled triangular shapes protruding from one side. The basket base (part b) fits on the underside of the body and is tear-drop shaped. It has a coiled perimeter, but the centre consists of long stripes of stem that come together in the middle and are slightly twisted. There are four sections of purple stem amongst the natural stem portions.

Large, thick, rectangular rug, boldly patterned and so densely embroidered in chain stitch that the supporting textile (heavy black wool twill, glued to a layer of burlap) is all but obscured. The large design motif, which is worked with green, gold, pink, orange, and off-white wool thread, consists of circles and geometric shapes within a square frame. There are three of these motifs in the centre of the rug. A narrow edge of the black textile is visible, as a narrow border, at the edge of all four sides of the rug, and a layer of dark brown, lightweight cotton textile is machine-stitched to the back of the piece. All of the colours are faded, however, more vibrant colours are visible if the rows of chain stitches are pushed aside to reveal the unexposed surfaces that lie close to the supporting textile.
