The large bottle-shaped basket has a bulging bottom and a short, wide neck. It has a square base. The vertical and horizontal splints are about the same width. One splint near the middle of the basket sits on top of the surface, wrapped with a second splint. It is a light natural color but is otherwise undecorated. The basket is noticeably lopsided.
