@dsourceindia '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 leg-making process of a cane basket called 'Khophi' produced by a master craftsman from 'Khonoma village in Nagaland. Vertical bamboo sticks are attached to the sides of the basket at the corners of the square base. These sticks are then stitched with cane strips, reinforcing the basket to form its legs. It is these legs that give the basket its name 'Khophi', meaning 'baskets with legs'.
