This large bamboo jug is a fine representation of tradition in Yimchunger Naga craft, an indigenous people of Nagaland, North East India. It is a typical example of the circular base format of the mug with a prominent groove, which has well exhibited one of the applications of every tribesman as far as handling shapes of natural materials is concerned in everyday and ceremonial acts. This mug has been lacquered in brown, a traditional decorative as well as protective finish derived from nature. Lacquering provides a smooth and glossy surface and increases bamboo items' durability- this also happens to be an aesthetic value in tribal material culture. An 'S'-shaped handle that is carefully carved from bamboo and attached with precision represents both the ergonomic consideration and the artistic style of the design.

The mug is uniquely characterized by a circular lid which has an opening at the top and which maybe even serves to steam or straw for drinking. Such elements of design indicate that it would be used to keep hot liquids or possibly fermented drinks, which would usually be drunk by the traditional Naga people. Such mugs are daily or festal uses that serve both the aspect and cultural uses, and many times, they convey a badge of household artistry. These three materials together are fashioned to show the eco-friendliness of the cane. And the whole life of the Yimchungers is very interconnected with their surroundings, so the crafts meant within environment and lifestyle.
