Early 20th C. Naga Rattan Basket - Monkey & Boar Skulls

Item Details

Description

Central Asia, northeastern India / Burma, Naga people, ca. early to mid 20th century CE. A fascinating object, a woven rattan basket decorated with a boar's skull, a monkey skull, a wooden anthropomorphic head, red-black goat hair, and two long, black fur-covered tails. Everything has been thickly coated with very dark brown, earthy pigment. The Naga people are a combination of tribes in northeastern India and northwestern Burma; during the time that this basket was made, they still led a very traditional lifestyle and engaged in headhunting. Baskets like this one were made by men in order to be used as part of headhunting, and each is unique. Size: 13.15" W x 14.35" H (33.4 cm x 36.4 cm)
