Narrow Necked Gourd Shell Vessel, a vessel, used traditionally, and though eco-friendly, has been very useful for the Reang community, which is one of the major tribes of indigenous India. The Reangs have a reputation for being very ecologically sustainable as well as having a close association with nature through using natural products such as dried gourd for the objects they use in their everyday lives. This vessel is an excellent example of their practical knowledge and resourceful craftsmanship. This is a weightless vessel that can be used for many purposes, made from a cleaned and hollow dried gourd. The bulbous body marks its generous storage capacity, while its long neck makes it easy for pouring without spillage. The basic form of this vessel is a flat circular base making it self standing on storage as well as for outdoor presentation. The plain outer surface is unmodified-mostly to retain its natural look and texture of gourd, in some cases, it is lightly polished or sun-dried for long-lasting use.

This gourd vessel is a storage kind of container among the Reangs for water, oil, or fermented liquids. It has naturally insulating traits, so it could keep cool things in it. The vessel is biodegradable and reusable in perfect alignment with the sustainable practices of the Reang community and traditional ecological knowledge. It speaks volumes about the relationship the tribe has with the environment and their capabilities about manipulating nature's gifts into tools that can serve specific functions in their everyday lives day after day.
