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.
