Chembakolli

Collection

Chembakolli is a small village in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu. The Advasi are one of the many different groups of people who live in this area. Discover everyday objects used in Advasi homes, many made by local people, in this unique collection. Compare and contrast everyday objects in this collection with objects pupils find at home. Put some one of the more robust objects in a bag and just by feeling answer the questions: What does it feel like? What do you think the object is? What use might it have? From what do you think it is made? Then take the object out of the bag and try to answer the questions: How might the object be used? Who might use it? When might it be used? Why might it be used?
