short description
Khampti tribal crafts of Arunachal Pradesh, India, create exquisite baskets. This basket is very intricately crafted using basketry; it's really interesting that this basket has a built-in stand which increases its usability and stability. These baskets have been woven by Khampti people for generations with materials such as bamboo and cane, locally sourced for the durability and beautiful shapes they achieve as household items.
The Bamboo Basket with Stand is that which has been created through fine weaving of bamboo strips into an incredibly strong yet remarkably light structure. It keeps the basket well off the ground, allowing it to be placed entirely within the purview of dirt and moisture, which makes it very suitable for food, grains, and other domestic items, because they may be stored for much longer.
Additionally, it is functional, but besides being a utility entity, it has cultural significance among the Khampti people themselves. The weaving patterns and craftsmanship express the artistic heritage of the tribe. The designs mainly symbolize nature or traditional belief. Most commonly, these are meant for home storage; however, they are starting to be marketified as handcrafted artifacts for those who love to collect them or are keen on indigenous craftsmanship.
