THE WEAVING OF THE NAGA TRIBE'S SHAWL :
This shawl is made with narrow Backstrap looms. It is woven with a High-quality Blend wool weft and weaving is done with hands. Backstrap loom weaving is painstakingly done by hand and unlike other looms where it's only the hands and legs of the weaver which is involved in the process, here it is the entire body.
This traditional craft enabled women in northeast India to gain meaningful livelihood opportunities even today and preserve their Naga Tribe culture.
The designs were woven into the cloth in different colors with warp or weft threads using a stick of bamboo, or even porcupine quills. Because of the nature of the loom, the designs were always linear and geometric. Sometimes the shawl was woven into three different pieces and joined together. Weaving is a laborious process, and each piece could take about ten hours for an expert weaver.

SYMBOLISM AND CULTURAL HERITAGE OF THE NAGA SHAWL:
Naga Shawls play an essential role in performing traditional rituals and ceremonies. They are believed to bring good luck, provide spiritual support, and make the tribe's fortune thrive. The shawls are a very delicate affair of culture, and they are woven with extreme care and have steadfast rules of weaving. It is said that a flawed shawl (a shawl that is not made following the rules) can bring bad luck to its wearer.
