Leaf plate

Leaf plates are eating plates, bowls or trenchers made with broad leaves, particularly in India and Nepal. In India they are known as Patravali, Pattal, Vistaraku, Vistar or Khali; in Nepal, as Tapari. They are mainly made from sal, dhak, bauhinia or banyan tree leaves. They can be made in circular shape, by stitching 6 to 8 leaves with tiny wooden sticks. Food is served on both fresh and dried pattal. It is popular during traditional meals, festivals and in temples. Its manufacture is a cottage industry in India and Nepal where women work on weaving them at home in spare time.
