The Bamboo Cane Basket connotes the authentic craft of the Naga tribe, occupying the eastern northeastern part of India, predominantly occurring in the states of Nagaland. Characteristically, the basket is shaped conically, has rectangular edges at the bottom, and opens oval at the mouth for practical use, as well carrying loads. Its form helps greatly help for keeping and transporting one's items, while the individual pieces have a cotton strap handle that is held on both sides of the basket, facilitating movement of the user over long distances with utmost ease. For carrying heavy loads, the strap is comfortable and strong enough to absorb the weight well.
Its striking feature, however, is that it carries a lot of ornamental attributes in structure. The exterior ground has surface decoration with intricate decorations designed with cane, bamboo, dried leaves, and cotton, tending to show the art of doing the Naga people. All these decorations serve more than just aesthetic value; they go a long way in proving the association the Naga tribe have with nature as well as their skills in transforming freely available local material into functional art. Mainly in carrying food, tools, and other necessary things, the haversack aids the practicality for the Naga tribe on an everyday level. Thus the ingenuity that the tribe signifies in using the materials and respecting it in this way becomes evident. The Bamboo Cane Basket thus attains value as a pattern because it depicts the duality of utility and ornamentation.
