From a very deep perspective, the Mizo bamboo ladles are not only eco-friendly but also practical homeware that springs out of the awe of nature along with the skill possessed by inhabitants of the tribe. The artifact consists of a spoon set, the first being a broad comparatively shallow bowl, flat and wide handle; the other smaller of two, thus revealing a distinct use purpose of the two for, possibly one would be viewed for serving food and the other for stirring or scooping liquids. Spoon made thus could be such as made with bamboo, which is plenty in the slopes of Mizoram making these spoons light, durable and biodegradable. The bowl part mostly carved out of node of bamboo gives a natural curvature and the handle tends to be flat such as to facilitate grip.
The Mizo people who are able at making everyday objects mostly out of bamboo and cane would have used such ladles for sharing during communal lunches home-cooking or traditional feasts. Bamboo ladle is thus not just a handmade artifact; it symbolizes a lifestyle that is sustainable and environment conscience of the Mizo tribal people. Even in current times, usage of such traditional utensils is eco-friendly, having great cultural import. The simplicity of structure throws open a view into the Mizo way of life, where their utility has always been tied to an inherent respect for nature.
