Round basket with lid. Basket (part a) is tall, lid (part b) fits over basket mouth and has a round, squat handle woven into top centre. Weave is very fine; basket is flexible. Decoration is blind imbrication with grass dyed dark brown, light brown and orange and applied in patterns of crosses, linear designs and colour blocks on both basket and lid.

Small beaded pouch. Bag is made of brown velvet edged in red cotton, with heavy beading in images of long leaves (oak?), other foliage, and flowers. The bag's shape is rounded with large scallops at the bottom hem. At top, two scalloped flaps fall to either side of the opening, one of which hides a small pocket. The inside of the pouch and underside of the flaps are lined in a stiff cotton. A small black strap of fabric is attached to the pouch at its top corners.

Bottom band of naturally coloured grass in zigzag pattern bordered by grass on a strip of green/red/green, creating an effect of staggered triangles (lower with vertex up, upper with vertex down). Central band has a "meander" pattern. 2 bands of parallelogram shapes in natural grass on green and on red. Rows of natural/red/natural/orange/natural on button handle. Base is mixed twined work. Sides and lid are plain twined with false embroidered design.
