The basket includes a fitted lid with a star/compass-style weave, a hallmark of early–mid 20th century folk basketry. A subtle red-dyed accent band wraps around the body, adding warmth and character without overpowering the natural wood tones. The weave is tight and even, showing skilled craftsmanship.
