The Adi people are native primarily to Arunachal Pradesh in northeastern India, where they have been recognized as the best creators of practical and decorative objects from natural materials. And for this, one of the more practical objects produced by an Adi community would be this cylindrical bamboo vessel, which features in the daily life of most people. This tube, made of the most artistically prepared bamboo, which is a universal and versatile material in this area, has a lid to make secure storage of anything contained in it. Being made of bamboo, it is lightweight and durable, so it is apt for holding edibles, grains, or any other items of daily use. Further, side handles made of cane have been affixed to this container for making it quite easily portable in spite of heavy and bulky materials kept in it. The best thing about such vessels is that they can be further beautified through plaited cane embellishment, making it look more and more decorative relative to its usefulness. The beautiful complicated weaving of the cane demonstrates the skill and craftsmanship of the Adi people specifically. Such ornaments add beauty and aesthetic value to the vessel as well as define its cultural heritage and craft.

These vessels are indeed an essential part of the agricultural lifestyle of the Adi tribe: that is, the storing and transporting of foodstuffs. Bamboo and cane serve as a great sample that demonstrates how sustainable this tribe has tried its best to exploit the available natural resources. In conclusion, the cylindrical bamboo vessel speaks of the ingenuity of the Adi people in marrying art and function and practicality with culture.
