These bamboo drinking mugs are the common household mugs of the Angami Naga tribe from Nagaland. Expertly made by hollowing out bamboo tubes into cylindrical mugs with circular openings and bases, a distinct groove at the base adds to stability and aesthetics.
The set contains two mugs: one tall and the other comparatively shorter, but they are of the same shape and design. Such mugs are often used to drink water or indigenous beverages and speak volumes about the tribe's eco-friendly lifestyle, as bamboo is a resource in nature found abundantly and made into tools and utensils for daily use.
While making these mugs light and strong, the factor makes them biodegradable. It is a feature of sustainable living. Works like these exhibit traditional craftsmanship in the Naga community, known for its skill to transform raw natural materials into functional items with simple, elegant designs.
