This Handmade Bamboo Basket, known as ‘Lakchung’, is handcrafted in Bhutan by traditionally-skilled artisans. Indigenously produced in rural Bhutan, the patterned basket is made of fine strips of Tula, a type of bamboo. The bamboo basket's veritable display of colours, beautiful symmetrical patterns and intricate designs are symbolic of the Bhutanese society. 
 
The handwoven Lakchung basket is commonly seen in Bhutanese homes and used as a food container or for serving dry food items. It can be used as a wastepaper bin, as a plant pot, bread basket or to store various items and knick-knacks. You can even use it as a decorative piece. With its intricate patterns and meticulous construction, this stunning handmade bamboo basket showcases the ingenuity of Bhutanese craftsmanship.
