Woman's waist wrap c. 1975

This vibrant red, black, and white textile is a woman's waist wrap made by the Zeliang Naga people, likely sometime in the mid-20th century. The wrap is woven with horizontal stripes, some solid and others incorporating a geometric pattern of diamonds and cross-hatching, all of which are typical of Naga textile traditions. This example is now part of the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
