Traditionally, t'he Dried Leaves Bamboo Basket is a typical craft of Mishmi, one of the tribal communities of northeast India, coming especially from Arunachal Pradesh and Assam. It traditionally is a large barrel-shaped basket with a square base - made from splitted bamboos, and ornamented with finely weaved dried leaves between two woven bamboo works for additional coverage and strength. The body has a cane strap attached with a form that becomes a convenient hauling handle. That its rim is just as fortified with splitted bamboo, tightly secured with cane straps makes it be divergent at the edges but not easily damageable in use.

The bamboo spathe (the sheath of a bamboo plant) also aids the part because it tightens to make a stand with cane straps. Such a stand is made so that the basket is held erect above the subsoil, preventing it from moisture and dirt contaminating the goods within. Usefulness in transporting goods, foods, and tools. It also speaks of the intricacies of local knowledge and the utilization of these resources into devices by the Mishmi tribes. In itself, it is an appliance that the Mishmi could not manage without in their daily lives and tells the tale of their sustainable use of resource properties.
