content: Coiled basketry tray made from flat bottom, with a ring attached around it to create sides and a foot. Center has a small circle of leather stitched on. Mostly natural color, with purple, green, and red inverted triangles on sides. Rim and foot wrapped with leather strap to reinforce edges. Donor says this is "used as a tray or a work surface for sorting grains. Collected [in Tigray] in 1973, but it was not new at this time. (name supplied by Almaz Baraki Cherqos, July 2007)".
