A small woven basket made of light-colored reeds/basketry, shown in a three-quarter view against a neutral background.
The image depicts a rectangular/box-like basket with rounded corners and a flat base. The walls are woven in a tight horizontal banding pattern with darker and lighter strips creating subtle banded texture. A thicker rim and top edge are visible, with the interior not clearly shown. No figurative decoration or applied inscriptions are visible. The catalogue’s description of a divided basket holding three bottles is not directly verifiable from this single exterior view; interior compartments and bottle dividers are not clearly shown.
