Old Naga Headhunter’s Skirt from a Naga warrior in Nagaland, in the extreme ne of India. These textiles are referred to as a “headhunter’s” skirt, though its unlikely headhunting has occurred for quite a while. 64 x 40 inches. The textile is handloomed wool with broad black and white stripes along with rectangular red supplemental weft designs. The textile is made from 3 strips of narrow loom woven cloth sewn together. The skirt is embellished with designs in cowrie shells. The skirt is in good condition thought it is a little dirty. Most of these Naga textiles i find are a bit dirty from rough use. This is an excellent uncommon textile from a remote part of the world. www.banjaratextiles.com
