The wooden shaft is cylindrical tapering towards the butt end where it flares outwards slightly. The wooden shaft is decorated with a burnt poker-work linear and dot design at the neck. Two lengths of wire are secured around the wooden shaft above and below the design.

Three horizontal rows are overlayed at the top of the basket also (black, white, black). The lid (part b) has a decorative edge that features a row of triple strand twining in black dyed cedar bark. It is followed by plaiting that is overlayed with the white grass. The lid has a dome-shaped appearance. The assembled basket resembles an acorn in shape.
