Comprising the bamboo comb with the Adi Tribe heritage, it testified to their craftsmanship and intimacy with nature. This comb was made using the carving technique with coir-woven in-built central parts of a comb that increase its durability and aesthetic appeal. The Adi tribe from Arunachal Pradesh, India, has been using such handcrafted combs for at least generations, a significant representation of cultural traditions.
These combs are much more than simply grooming aids; they become part of culture and Society. They appear in everyday life, in the rituals and ceremonies, speaking to purity and wisdom transmitted through many generations. The usage of bamboo and coir would highlight sustainable practices among the Adi Tribe and organize community expertise on local material utilization.

A comb, a craft, a culture

The much intricate weaving on the central portion can be evidenced about their artistry. These combs are simple but efficient tools for the Adi people. Such a deep understanding bamboo with which material works so well, to have the comb. While serving its own functional role, these combs may also be presented as gifts, indicating their culture value.
The bamboo combs from the Adi Tribe exemplify the fusion of tradition, nature, and craftsmanship. Perhaps an example par excellence of how tribal art continues to exist and flourish even today in India, in spite of globalization.
