AO NAGA WARRIOR\'S HANDLOOM TRIBAL SHAWL/TEXTILE:
$35.00
Very tightly hand woven of acrylic fiber used now by the Nagas instead of wool, this textile is a reproduction of an original, traditional Ao tribe man’s body cloth worn only when warrior status was achieved, as seen in the historical photo. It was absolutely distinctive of the Ao tribe Naga; only the Tankhul Nagas of Manipur wore figurative cloths as well. Costume was one of the main ways in which the headhunting tribes of Nagaland distinguished themselves from each other. The strip in the center is traditionally painted with tree sap in figurative and other tribal designs in black and white only; this one, then, is in the spirit of the original style. Embroidered colors were added later as a more modern form. Such methods, like the use of tree sap, are still being used sparingly, but result in much more expensive textiles. This cloth measures approximately 82” x 51” and has substantial weight due to its tight weave as well as a striking appearance.
