The exterior basket is woven in natural reed with a zigzag pattern woven in. It is later overlaid with the same space-dyed reed used on the inside. It has a cat’s head base, dyed rim fillers, red leather handles, and an interesting rim lashing. A very substantial basket, it is an easier type of double wall to weave because of its construction.
