Description

Woven of cane, tand and dark brown, in geometrical design. Lid attached with cane hinge. 6 small loops (3 on each end) through which to run straps for caryying. The lid fits over the top of the basket which is smaller at the top than the base; the lid thus forms the upper 2/5 of the total height.
