The Cane Basket, circular and neatly woven, is an adornment, being a traditional household corpus delicately worked on by the Monpa tribe in Arunachal Pradesh, India. Made in the technique of basketry, this basket is largely used in the household for storage- food articles, grains, and all else that will ever be needed in day-to-day life. A basket, which is one of many of immeasurable and varied use, is a major thing for the Monpa people, who are perhaps the best craftsmen in weaving. They have, for centuries, made baskets with cane and bamboo, which, beyond being utilitarian, are aesthetically appealing.

Besides being utilitarian, the Cane Basket also represents the culture of the Monpas. The weaving combines ritual poignancy with the artistic expression of the tribe, and each family or clan possesses distinct designs or motifs. A knowledge of weaving these baskets is handed down from generation to generation, thus preserving the ancient art of the tribe.The Monpa Cane Basket is now being acclaimed as an emblem of eco-friendly craftsmanship as an increasing amount of international attention is being attracted to products that are sustainable and handmade. This symbolizes tradition along with practicality in the modern world.
