The Hexagonal Shaped Basket is, in fact, a traditional relic of the Khasi tribe, being an aboriginal tribe of the northeastern state of India, Meghalaya. This unique basket has been hand-crafted so that it is not just circular but also has a Round bottom, exhibiting the high weaving skills, nature allegiance of the tribes, etc. Most of the basket's structure consists of cane as well as bamboo, which are also carefully woven into a functional and beautiful item. The basket has hexagonal designs on the inner surface which are made by thin strips of cane woven together. These patterns purely decorative reference point to the skill and culture of the Khasi race as such intricate patterns are often imbued with symbolic meanings in their community. They are considered precious to the extent where intricate weaving be referred as a craft span down generations.

Dried leaves cover the inner surface in large pieces in the traditional way to provide another layer of protection and a limited shielding effect on the items contained inside. These leaves, of course, have much do with the traditionally sustainable use of natural resources for the Khasi tribe and are thus selected and integrated into the design.
For stability and preventing wearing out, the mouth part of the basket is also covered with a plaited cane strap. This was that changed into softness and strength. The Hexagonal Shaped Basket is used every day in the community of the Khasi for a thousand things: storing food and other household items in kitchens, among other uses. This brief account captures some aspects of the unique culture of this tribe; it is a complete storehouse of how they understand weaving natural materials into useful tools.
