Nagaland Multi-Strand Glass-Bead Necklace (Pre-W.War Two)

Multi small bead necklaces are worn by men and women of all Naga tribes. Glass beads are an important ornament in every women's diary. The beads are imported from Czechoslovakia and Venice at the turn of the century (late19th-20th century). Strands are interwoven at their terminals and the necklace is closed by a coin button and loop. The Nagas are aboriginal tribes of Mongoloid people, occupy a small area of North-eastern India and Burma. The varied terrain consist of mountains, hills, narrow valleys and jungles that isolates tribe from tribe. Geography and limited external contact kept the Naga cultural customs and concepts unique.
