Woven Baskets

Simple woven baskets of varying sizes serve as decorative accents throughout the villagers' rustic dwellings on Metebelis Three. Crafted from local reeds or grasses, their coarse weave and uneven stitching reveal the villagers' utilitarian craftsmanship rather than any aesthetic flourish. Positioned among other homely items, they remain unremarked upon by characters—neither admired nor criticized—until Sarah's sudden arrival draws immediate suspicion.
