This is a rectangular bird cage. The cage itself comprises of light brown, bamboo bars. Along the sides two rectangular wooden strips—one at about center and the other just below the top of the cage—keep the bamboo bars in place. The top of the cage has two four wooden strips creating three bands of bamboo bars above. At the nearest end of the bird cage, is a white ovoid strip, possibly used to lift the door to the cage. A second smaller strip of white, possibly to affix a bowl. The base of cage is comprised of simple wooden panels. The sides of the base panels come up on the interior of the cage creating a basin.
