Description
INDIA, Naga, Nagaland Wooden loft ladder with a brown patina, carved with eight steps. (Signs of wear.) Height: 236 cm; Width: 21 cm; Depth: 15 cm Wrought-iron support. 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, close to nature, and to their animist culture. Their living conditions have changed, but they remain attached to their culture and to 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.
