This basket is wider than it is at the bottom, which is somewhat squareish. This traditional craft item belongs to the Binjhal tribe, which is found in numbers that may be counted, in a truly native sense, only in the state of Odisha, India. They are best in weaving with available natural materials like bamboo generally used for making household items that are expected to endure for an extended period. An epitome of fine arts craftsmanship. This basket is made out of split bamboo with an open mouth for easy access to the contents inside and a somewhat square base, the four distinct corners aiding stabilization, and a better hold when placed on flat horizontal surfaces. This special feature deals with not only aesthetics but also functional efficacy with respect to its round mouth and squarish base. Perfectly stable, no danger of tipping.

Flat bamboo splits alternate around the mouth section to strengthen it against inward collapse. The basket's shape could survive rough use due to the weaving method of the Binjhal artisans. Thus it could be said that their weaving technique provides aesthetic appeal and functional sense to every crafted piece. Household chores, for storing grains, that type of basket with circular openings for carrying food items and storing household objects lends itself to easy working. The whole basket design and making substance have, for many generations, been a symbol of the ethnic relations with their rich culture and the environment where they make their materials.
