Brown knotted-rope pot hanger. At one end of the rope the fibre has been wrapped into a circular shape. The circular shape has 4 four separate ropes and the rest of the ropes are knotted around the circle to keep it in place. There are 10 ropes coming out of the circle. The ropes are grouped together in twos as the ropes leave the circle. Each group of ropes is knotted twice together. The second knot is tied by taking one rope from one group and another rope from a second group and then they are tied together into a new knot. From these two ropes, after the knot, only one rope emerges.
This knotted rope hanger is used for suspending clay yogurt pots.
This sika rope is mad from the sisal tree bark (called "silali" in Oriya) by the Man(g)kuria (called Birhoris in Bihar and Madhya Pradesh States) who are a completely nomadic hunting and gathering jungle tribe found in the states of southern Bihar, northern Orissa, northeastern Madhya Pradesh and the southwest of Bengal State.
