- A round basket bowl of twining technique with natural light coloured background and red brown, brown and black design. Design around sides formed of elongated red brown and black trapezoidal shapes stepping up and down on one another forming a zig-zag around the sides with a brown triangle at the base of each zig-zag and an inverted brown triangle at the top of each. Rim is banded with two brown lines with groups of three triangles sitting on the top line spaced around the rim, two brown lines are at the bottom of the zig-zag pattern with another band inside the circle formed by these on the bottom of the basket composed of a mixture of brown and light coloured twining, with a small circle of solid brown at the centre of the base.
