Sangku is known as a craft art property used in various regions of Indonesia according to the beliefs and culture of certain regions. Specifically, sangku has been used by the Balinese community for a long time. However, the material used as sangku has recently been renewed, taking into account the effectiveness of its use and current conditions. The paper aims to explain the shape, material, and function of sangku used in various regions of Indonesia. It is a sample study with a qualitative descriptive approach and both online and offline documentation techniques were used to gather the data. The research results revealed sangku with a cylindrical base and sangku made of clay, metal, or rock found in Indonesia. There is sangku applying regional cultural or plain ornaments. In addition, it also has diverse functions, e.g., as a place of holy water in Balinese Hindu ceremonies, as a container in Basarah ceremony called Sangku Tambak Raja by people of the Kaharingan Native Dayak Tribe of Borneo. According to the research findings, sangku is used as a container associated with religious ceremonies in Indonesia.
