About the Item
This striking bronze piece, crafted using the ancient lost-wax technique, originates from the captivating culture of the Konyak Naga, one of the last known headhunter tribes of Northeast India.
The bold, crescent-shaped collar is adorned with three finely sculpted human faces, powerful symbols of strength, honor, and ancestral connection. Interspersed between them are spiral motifs, ancient designs evoking infinity and the cyclical energy of life.
More than a mere ornament, this is a ceremonial object rich in meaning, likely worn by a high-ranking warrior during rituals, tribal dances, or sacred gatherings. The expressive faces etched into the metal silently tell stories of bravery, blood, and collective memory.
A rare and impactful artifact, perfect for collectors of tribal art, ethnographic museums, or galleries dedicated to Southeast Asian material culture.
This is a piece that transcends time, capable of evoking an entire cultural universe through a single, powerful artistic gesture.
