DESIGN, CRAFTSMEN, AND CULTURAL HERITAGE :

DESIGN: This traditional Ao Naga Man's shawl is purely handwoven in red and black. The shawl is beautified with figures woven in the center. The white patch in the middle is hand embroidered with beautiful designs of animals and birds like Mithun, cock, peacock lion, tiger, and elephants aligned with tribal geometric designs. This embroidery design is even more detailed and larger in size.

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.
