short description
The cane basket, found among the tribe of Dafla in Arunachal Pradesh, represents the most beautiful glory of indigenous art through practical design. Sturdy but light rectangular baskets, entirely made of woven cane strips, serve purposes for their day-to-day activities in their difficult hilly terrains.
The most exciting thing about the baskets is that they rucksack-like are and are carried over the shoulder with another strap, also made of cane strips. This makes it possible for the person carrying it to free his or her hands to do other chores. This is especially important to be used for the household chores like collecting firewood, carrying agricultural produce, or transporting food materials and other household items in travel through forests.
The cane, collected and sustainable, is used in making the baskets, which again reflect the deep roots that the tribe has with nature and the eco-friendly lifestyle they uphold. The method of weaving, as complicated as it is, is rightly made over and above, thus speaking for the traditional knowledge and artistic sensibility of the Dafla community. The technique gets handed over from one generation to the other, which makes every basket different from the rest and a piece of artifact on its own.
For them, baskets are life and death; they capture the best synthesis of function, design, and tradition. So, besides functional, they form the historic way of life of the people.
