The Naga are an ancient tribal people found in the hills of Northeast India and Northwest 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. They employ the back-strap loom tension method (sometimes called Indonesian) using handspun cotton and sometimes hemp. After the cloth has been woven, small patches of embroidery are often added using a porcupine needle.Dimensions Length: 177cm, 70 in Width: 103cm, 40 in Tribal Group: Sema Provenance: Nagaland, NW BurmaRead about the Naga View Asian Decor Photos View Burma Photo Gallery
