Slight food soiling on interior. "Cut in rim made by Isabel Kelly to del." Foundation bundle of split shoots, sewing strands of split peeled shoots with designs in redbud (Cercis occidentalis). Coiled shallow basket with flaring sides, with residue. The start is twined. The warps are rods and splints. The wefts are peeled redbud as a background and unpeeled redbud designs. At the base the background wefts are sedge (Carex). There are random rectangles. The rim is plain wrapped with a blunt coil ending, with four overstiches, with the warps clipped.
