Open weave basket

An open twined basket that resembles a small cup in shape and dimension. The colors are fades, but there are stripes of red and green as well as the natural color of the basket material. The lip of the basket appears braided in a chain-like manner. Color pattern appears to be (from top to bottom) plain, red, green, plain, green, red, green, plain, green, red. The interior of the basket still has fairly vivid colors. Style closely resembles some specific Coast Salish open weave clam baskets.
