content: Woven basket. Made with two pieces sewn together: bottom is bowl shaped, slightly inverted on the bottom; top piece is cone-shaped, narrowing towards the open top. Covered in medium and dark brown triangle/zigzag woven pattern, but this is almost completely obscured by wear, dirt, and fading on the top section (more visible on the bottom). Area of weft twining where the top and bottom pieces meet, and at the very top.
