Handwoven African basket or shallow tray constructed using tightly coiled natural plant fibers in a striking geometric pattern of brown, tan, rust, cream, and muted blue. The basket features finely executed concentric coil construction with a braided rim and radiating triangular motifs, reflecting traditional weaving techniques found in Southern and East African basketry. Measuring approximately 15 inches in diameter and 3 inches tall, the piece is suitable for use as a decorative centerpiece, wall display, or functional basket. No maker's tag or tribal attribution is present, so a specific region or artisan cannot be confirmed. The basket displays light wear consistent with age and use, with no significant structural damage apparent in the provided photo. See photos for full details.
