Square, rattle-bottomed basket with a round upper rim. Basket with open weave as follows: base is plaited (double layer); sides - the warp is double and is left bare, a slat is placed in between the warp strands, a row of plain twined weaving follows. The result is an "openwork weave" which is not open. Four of the weft strands are dyed and in sets of three double warp strands are dyed brown. Result is sort of a plaid design.
