The mid-section of the round basket features thin olive vegetable dyed bands of sweet grass, surrounding a wider orange colored central band, all of which circumnavigate the girth of the basket. The wooden handles aren't twisted or deformed and don't suffer from any wood loss, chips or fractures. Simply amazing. Made by
