content: measurement with lid. Wide, flattish lidded basket which is both round and square. The basket and lid are woven from split reed or cane. The weaving on both begins with a square but the rims are round, with wide brims. The brim is a cane hoop bound with smaller, more pliable cane. The lid and basket are attached to each other by a series of woven cords threaded through the body and then woven together, and attached to a shaped piece of palm rib, which may have made it easier to hang. The brim wrapping has a pattern woven into on one side.
