The Inning, also known as Sikka Rake, is a traditional household carrier used by the Gadaba tribe. This indigenous object is ingeniously constructed from natural bark thread, indicating the tribe's dependency on forest resources and their remarkable skill in weaving and utility design. The artifact comprises a pair of rakes, each formulated with three slender ropes in such a manner that at the bottom there will be a very tiny container that could hold household items during transport or storage.
Mainly used for home chores, Inning becomes a multi-purpose carrier for vegetables, firewood, foraged goods, or small utensils. The simple structure is delicate in appearance but strong in function. Easy to carry and breathable, it really suited everyday commons. Especially in the rural and hilly track. This was a testimony to the sustainable lifestyle of the tribe, wherein every useful item was made out of environmental-friendly materials, and none were put through industrial processing. The intertwining of form and function in the Sikka Rake reflects cultural identity and an in-depth knowledge of the natural materials.
