Duli is a large basket used in
Assam for preserving paddy. It is also known as ‘tali’ in the Bengali language.
This basket is woven from thin flexible bamboo splits. During the weaving process, the vertical segments are bent gradually while the horizontal segments are interwoven into it, slowly giving the basket its shape. The edge is strengthened using two or four flat bamboo strips, which are stitched to the basket using flexible cane strips.
