Coiled plant fiber food cover. The center is a large red circle, followed by thin black, undyed, and black lines. Following that is a wide band that is divided roughly into quarters. Two of the quarters are undyed with slanted black lines cutting across the coils. The other two quarters are red with a trapezoid shape of alternating black and red fibers. Outside of that band are thin bands of black, red, and black followed by a wider band of undyed fibers. The outside edge is wrapped in alternating sections of red and black fibers.
