Khaat (Charpoy)

Design Innovation and Craft Resource Centre, CEPT University

A charpoy with turned wooden legs was kept outside the kitchen of this house. The wood appeared a dark colour because of a coat of polish applied on it. The mortise and tenon joinery between the legs and the frame had loosened causing the legs to lean outwards.
