carrying basket made out of thin strips of the arumã bush
cargueiro means that it's designed for carrying objets, but arumã is a local plant so it cannot be translated.

a small basket woven from the fine strands of the arumã bush
I left out carrying as it appears to be superfluous but by all means leave it in - a small basket woven from the fine strands of the arumã bush
