'Naga Cane Basket' is a Design Resource From IIT Guwahati. Basket making has been one of the most intrinsic aspects of Naga culture throughout the ages. These baskets are valued as dowry baskets as well as being used for daily activities like carrying water, firewood, harvests from fields, etc. The video shows the binding of the Rim process of a cane basket called 'Khophi' produced by a master craftsman from Khonoma village in Nagaland. The rim of the mouth in a 'Khophi' is reinforced by attaching a ring made of the cane on the outer circumference. After securing the ring, the loose ends of the vertical warps are folded inwards, binding the rim firmly. The loose ends are then trimmed, and the basket is removed from the mold.
