Sikki Grass Lidded Basket
Madhubani district, Mithila, Bihar
A round basket with a fitted domed lid, coiled from golden sikki grass that grows wild in the wetlands of north Bihar. The grass keeps its natural sheen for years and needs no polish. Light in the hand but firm in structure, it holds sewing things, dry snacks, or letters you mean to keep.
