Description
Small shallow flat-bottomed basket with sides flaring outward; coiled construction; pattern of coloured bands around coils, one band of brown then one band of dyed blue-green, followed by two bands of natural colour, repeated to the top of the basket where there are two bands of the blue-green colour; the patterning on the basket is divided into thirds vertically where a subtle definition is made by stepping up the colour on each coil at this point; sturdy but flexible.
