This pair of Angami Naga armlets are made from cardboard, decorated
with dyed goat's hair, coix lacryma seeds, yellow orchid stem, and
long fringes of human hair. In some Naga groups, human hair was
particularly valued for body ornaments, perhaps because of its association
with headhunting, which was once practised in these areas.
