Most of the people have a perception that bamboo is usually used only as a building material. This is more or less true, but that is just one aspect of this wondrous plant, wherein several artisans across the country have identified its decorative value and have used it to produce crafts which render a tropical feel to the ambience. The north-eastern artisans are the most prominent in bringing out this utility of bamboo, where bamboo is used both in the form of pipes as well as a natural fiber to make beautifully crafted products like trays, baskets, furniture and so on. The sleek lacquered finish that is achieved by bamboo products creates elegance and sleekness, which is unmatched by any other raw material.
The craft known by the French term papier-mache which literally means paper pulp, is locally known as kar-e-kalamkari or pen-case work, after its traditional Iranian name. Papier-mache was practiced as a form of decoration on the wooden wall panels and wooden furniture, and was eventually adapted to paper moulds as well. Trays, jewellery boxes and book covers were made for royal patrons and members of their courts. The two major processes involved in the craft are sakthsazi or mould making and naqqashi or mould painting. The naqqash renders the surface in intricate floral patterns or highly stylized scenes of hunts and battles. The Mughal period saw the art extending to palanquins, ceilings, bedsteads, doors and windows.
