DescriptionRound covered basket made of rattan. The bottom edge is woven with thicker rattan than the rest of the basket. The interior has a raised rattan band near the center. The basket is somewhat misshapen, bowing out more on one side than on the other.

The cover (.b) bows slightly upward; it was woven off-center.The rim and the band near the center were woven with larger rattan, to produce a raised band pattern. The cover is not presently hinged to the basket.
