Taking an approach that is equal parts anthropological and art
historical, this lavishly illustrated volume offers a rare look at
the art, artifacts, and culture of the Naga people, an ethnic group
spanning several tribes native to northeastern India and
northwestern Myanmar. The book seeks to shed light on this
geographically isolated and historically insular people,
identifying cultural aspects and artistic traditions that are
common among all Naga tribes, as well as ways in which the tribes
differ. The works featured include textiles, baskets, wood carving,
pottery, metalwork, jewelry, and beadwork, and make use of a wide
range of materials such as glass, stone, metal, wood, shell, seeds,
bone, and hair. Archival photography is used to place clothing,
accessories, and ornaments within the cultural practices of the
Naga. Distributed for Mercatorfonds
