Each piece features a dark, low-fired earthenware body paired with intricately braided or crosshatched wicker that follows the contours of the form. The set includes three unique shapes—a rounded pot, a narrow-neck vessel, and a handled jug—each showcasing variations in craftsmanship and surface texture.

The contrast between the matte clay and warm fiber tones creates a visually engaging composition. Handmade between the 1970s and 1990s, these vessels exemplify the region’s long-standing practice of blending pottery and basketry techniques into functional, sculptural forms.
