Ao’s of Nagaland part 5
This programme made by Moasunep Kichu deals with the handicraft and handloom industry of the Ao tribe of Nagaland.
The Naga handlooms are colourful. Each tribe has its own distinctive traditional patterns and colours, which identifies the given tribe and the individual status.
In the past the art of spinning cotton and weaving were quite popular but this was the domain of women.
Traditionally the Aos used blue and red colours or dyes. Once the threads are dyed, they are taken to the loom, a simple apparatus made of bamboo stick and wood.
The Aos can make many things out of bamboos, like baskets, mats and kitchen items. Painting and woodcarving are not exception. They can work wonders with just a simple drilling machine, dao, chisel and hammer.
Today, the advancement of technology and abundance of raw material have helped the people to produce more goods with different designs. Tradition need not be sacrificed. Traditional art and artifacts can be a rich source of income for the skilful and innovative entrepreneur.
