籠基係緬甸人著嘅筒裙，由腰間一塊長方形嘅布組成。為求舒服，塊布有時會摺到上膝頭哥。緬甸人認為女性筒裙係不潔嘅，所以嚴格禁止將佢晾喺高過人頭嘅地方。
The cage base is a tube skirt worn by the Burmese and consists of a rectangular piece of cloth around the waist. For comfort, the cloth is sometimes folded up to the knees. The Burmese consider the female tube skirt to be unclean, so it is strictly forbidden to hang it above the head.
