This tribe is very much termed as Bhutias and areas like the Indian Himalayan state of Sikkim and few regions of Bhutan are known to be inhabited by this tribe, which is said to contain great and rich traditions, a spiritual living, and very fine nuances of craftsmanship. An artifact among various cultural productions, this Dojung-a small finely crafted knife-holds significance, besides being a source of functional tool, as a reflection of aesthetic sensibilities and heritage of the Bhutia peoples.The Dojung is a small knife, practical in size for everyday use-it is provided with an iron blade sharp and lasting to perform tasks such as cutting food, rope, or fabric with great precision. The size of the Doesung may seem modest, but it is crafted very meticulously, indicating how the tribe pays attention to detail and puts a lot of effort into quality into their items.
It is usually covered by an aesthetically decorated scabbard. This would include traditional motifs, patterns, or metal inlays. It acts not merely as a protective covering but also an expression of art. This decorated cover indicates that even the most utilitarian objects of functional worth among the Bhutias carry intrinsic cultural and aesthetic value.The function of Dojung is wood. Thus, it gives a natural grip and is also quite ergonomic, along with the natural viewpoint of the surrounding environment. This shows the custom of the tribe to use accessibility to their source in a sustainable way. The Dojung in a broader sense goes beyond being just a blade-it is Bhutia values: craftsmanship, functionality, and beauty-all of which are rooted in tradition.
