HANDWOVEN BLACK WITH RED WEAVING TRADITIONAL NAGA BLANKET/SHAWL/BODY WRAP :
This shawl is traditionally worn by men of the tribe. Naga Tribe Shawls are the most distinctive and famous in India and all over the world. Naga Shawls are not mere wraps against cold, they are highly symbolic and are the traditional dress of Nagaland. They are a part of every celebration. They have distinctive patterns that are primarily red and black in color. They are worn by various Naga tribes. There are around 16 tribes in Nagaland and each has its own distinctive design and color combination. Purely handwoven using Backstrap loom by women in the tribal villages of Nagaland, northeast India.
DESIGN, CRAFTSMEN, AND CULTURAL HERITAGE :
DESIGN:
This Naga Shawl features black and red Stripes Stripes with a woven design. The shawl is beautified with figures woven in the center locally called Eru design. Eru means Wealth and Reward. The white patch in the middle is hand-embroidered with beautiful designs of Spear and Dao: A sword and a knife; these symbols are associated with the traditional weapons used by warriors and for daily life. The Shawl features distinctive patterns with traditional design motifs including simple clean lines, stripes, squares, and bands.
THE WEAVING OF THE NAGA TRIBE'S SHAWL :
Naga shawls are made with narrow loin looms. The weaving is made on a simple loom called a loin loom or backstrap loom (since the weaver uses her back to support the loom). This loin loom is composed of six bamboo sticks. It is one of the oldest looms and is still used by tribes in Nagaland today.
Loin loom weaving is painstakingly done by hand and unlike other looms where it's only the hands and legs of the weaver involved in the process, here it is the entire body.
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 laborious, and each piece could take about hours/days 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.
They are highly symbolic and are the traditional dress of Nagaland. They are a part of every celebration. They have a distinctive pattern that is primarily red and black in color. They are worn by various Naga tribes. There are around 16 tribes in Nagaland and each has its own distinctive design and color combination.
The traditional costumes worn by Naga Tribes are a lot different from the other states of India. The Naga People give a lot of weightage to their culture, traditions, and costumes and feel that costumes are what identifies them and separate them from the rest of the crowd. The dresses that people wear here are colorful and vibrant. An important item that the people of Nagaland adorn is a shawl. The beautiful shawls are amongst the most popular traditional dresses in the place. These shawls are separately designed for every tribe to be able to differentiate between them easily.
This traditional craft enabled women in northeast India to gain meaningful livelihood opportunities even today and preserve their #naga Tribe culture.
