Nagaland Textiles, Artifacts and Jewelry
 Among the Nagas two categories of clansmen had the right to adorn themselves in a particular way --- the headhunters and the givers of ceremonial feasts. The headhunters were concerned mostly with ornaments while givers of Feasts of Merit had their position recorded by the clothing they had the right to wear. |
