content: Round, coiled basket with flat bottom and flat llid. Made with a thick, rigid core, with grass fibers coiled around it. Most of the basket and lid are covered in a checked pattern of undyed and dark brown fibers. The center of the bottom, and the center and edges of the lid are solid undyed fibers. Several loops of twisted grasses extend out from center of lid, forming a handle. Lid fits tightly, and edges are fraying, so should be stored with lid off.
