Description
Warrior hat decorated with hornbills and feathers, Nyishi people, India Organic materials, bone and feathers. Dimensions: 30 x 19 x 18 cm. A unique tribal headdress belonging to the Nyishi people of India, made from organic materials and embellished with bone and feather elements. The piece reflects a style with a strong identity and ceremonial character, linked to the representation of prestige, bravery and social belonging within the material culture of this group. The inclusion of decoration alluding to the hornbill—a bird of special symbolic significance in various traditions of north-eastern India—reinforces the piece’s emblematic value. It stands out for its remarkable visual presence, the rich texture of the materials used, and its ethnographic interest as a testament to the tribal arts of South Asia.
