Man's wrapper c. 20th century

"Man's Wrapper" is a striking example of traditional Tang Khul Naga textile art. This woven piece features a bold pattern of alternating red and white stripes, with intricate woven designs incorporating small, circular motifs. The cloth's size and construction suggest it served as a garment for men, reflecting the cultural significance of textiles in Naga society. This artwork from the 20th century, now housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, showcases the enduring artistry of the Tang Khul Naga people and their remarkable textile traditions.
