This "Woman's wrapper" from the 20th century was created by a Tang Khul Naga artist and is currently held in the Minneapolis Institute of Art. The wrapper is crafted from a white textile with black stripes and is accented with red-tipped diamonds. This garment is an excellent example of Naga textile art and the intricate designs that were woven into the fabric. The geometric patterns and the use of contrasting colors are characteristic of the Tang Khul Naga's artistic tradition. The wrapper would have been worn by women in their daily life and is a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of the Tang Khul Naga people.
