Aside from functional use, such receptacles are often carried during travel or household chores. The Mishmi people share nature very closely and exhibit it when producing their tools — with respect for sustainability and self-reliance, minimalist, eco-friendly, and therefore meant to be productive- from their own perspectives.The Mishmi bamboo receptacle is a testimony to indigenous eco-conscious design in an era moving towards plastic alternatives. It is a celebration of traditional knowledge still cherished in the current sustainability discourse.
