This clay pot is a traditional household item, defined as for the Khampti tribe, which is mainly resided in Lohit district, Arunachal Pradesh, and some areas of Assam like Tinsukia and Dibrugarh. The Khampti is known very well for its great refined material culture, which has been affected mainly by Theravada Buddhist practices and then Tai heritage.Made of baked clay, the rounded shape of this pot aids in efficient and thermal insulation storage. While the flat circular base allows it to stand on a variety of surfaces, the widened middle section has a great capacity, making it ideal for the storage of water, grains, or cooked food. The thick rim adds to its strength and durability to prevent breakage during day-to-day activity and also makes it easy to handle.

This earthen thing is functional and represents that the community should have a sustainable way of living. It is made from native clay and fired through the traditional firing method; thus, these pots are biodegradable and ecologically sound. The design has been passed from generation to generation, although simple, indicative of age-old craftsmanship.
These days, one would usually find these pots applied in a household setting or for ceremonial purposes, which include offerings and religious functions in the village monasteries.
