Description
INDIA, Naga, Nagaland Carved and weathered wooden panel decorated with stylised buffalo heads. (Signs of wear.) Height: 116 cm; Width: 70 cm Wrought-iron stand. The Nagas are an ethnic group on the border between north-eastern India and Burma, comprising some thirty tribes; they are hunter-gatherers and formidable warriors with a reputation as ‘headhunters’. They lived in villages consisting of traditional huts and remained attached to their ancient traditions, living close to nature, and to their animist culture. Their living conditions have changed, but they remain attached to their culture and village life, with woodcarvers crafting traditional pieces featuring their tribe’s emblems: the Calao, a bird; the Gaur, a semi-domesticated bovine… which were collected locally and feature in this collection.
