Title : Model of Tribal Hut
Accession No : 05/138/D/NHHM
" This is a model of a tribal hut, it probably resembles a place where village meetings are held and can also be termed as 'Tribal Council'. It is majorly used by the people of Andaman and Nicobar islands. The model is placed inside a glass box which has wooden borders and a slightly raised base resting on square-shaped pedestals. The model replicates the exact structure of the hut and it has a dome shaped roof with a pointed conical structure in the centre. There is also a seating stool placed inside the miniature model hut. The front side of the glass box has 'Tribal Council' written on top of it; while the base has been written with 'Valmiki-Ambedkar Awas Yojana'. "
