This unique piece is circular, resting on four sturdy, short legs, giving it a grounded, stable look. The body of the ashtray is adorned with intricate, woven-like patterns that resemble basket weaving, adding depth and texture to the design. These textures are not merely decorative but speak to the artisanal quality and attention to detail that went into its creation, reflecting a blend of both functionality and cultural artistry.
