The Naga are an ancient tribal people found in the
hills of Northeast India and parts of Burma. They have a rich tradition of
textile weaving and are renowned for their flamboyant adornments for the body.
Textile weaving is the preserve of women and is done using handspun cotton and
sometimes hemp. The backstrap loom tension method (sometimes called Indonesian)
is employed. After the cloth has been woven, small patches of embroidery are
added using a porcupine needle. A number of plant extracts are used to
dye the cloth including indigo, mahogany and lacquer. This textile is from the Angami tribe and is worn as
an indication of tribal belonging and status. It consists of a single panel of
embroidered motifs in red and slate blue grey with side stripes in black,
maroon and yellow. The piece ends in knotted tassels. It would make a
dramatic wall decoration, sofa or bed throw. The last series of photos
show the Naga of various tribes from Nagaland. Please note that minor
imperfections are part of the charm of completely handmade tribal textiles,
though we do carefully hand pick each one to ensure the highest possible
quality. Google sabai designs gallery to
see our complete collection of tribal textiles The Naga, of
which there are several tribes, live in north-west India and on Burmese side of
the border where there are about 100 000. The history of the Naga is not very
clear but they are thought to be related to the Mongoloid Tibeto-Burman
group. Some anthropologists suggest that there is common ancestry with
the Chin, a people living in the mountainous regions of Chin state, Burma. The
Naga are known for their strength, stamina and fierceness in battle and have a
rich tradition of textile weaving. The Naga use textiles with different
patterns to show the person's social status, hunting experience and
wealth. Both men and women are very fond of ornaments and wear a wide
range of adornments including bronze and brass armlets and anklets, heavy
earrings, necklaces in bronze, shell, precious stones and boar tusks.
Textile weaving is the preserve of women. In a fast changing world the
Naga remain one of the most colourful ethic minorities on the planet and for
the most part remain faithful to their traditional way of life.
