Lot of 5 Naga / Angami Hand-Carved Conch Shell Ornaments
Nagaland, India
A 5-piece collection of traditional prestige body ornaments from the Naga people of Northeast India (Nagaland). Hand-carved from dense marine conch shell (Turbinella pyrum / Conus), this cohesive lot includes a warrior's wrist cuff and two matching pairs of traditional slit-ring ear ornaments.
Naga society, ornaments were never purely decorative; they served as a visual language indicating the wearer’s status, clan lineage, and accomplishments in warfare. Shells were highly prized trade items brought into the landlocked Himalayan foothills from the distant Indian Ocean. The distinct geometric linear dot patterns were hand-incised using traditional iron tools and rubbed with a mixture of charcoal soot and natural resin to accentuate the motifs
1x Prestige Warrior Bracelet / Cuff: A beautifully curved, interlocking wrist band carved from a large conch shell section, featuring detailed cross-hatched dot engraving. (9.5 cm, 6.7 cm inner diameter, 135 g)
2x Square Slit-Ring Ear Ornaments: A matching pair of square ear weights decorated with a classic radiating sunburst/radial dot motif, traditionally worn by the Angami Naga. (4 cm, 40 g)
2x Circular Slit-Ring Ear Ornaments: A matching pair of large disc ear weights utilizing the natural spiral core of the shell, showing beautiful organic grain and matching incised accents. (6 cm, 65 g)
Excellent vintage/antique condition. The shell exhibits a beautiful, warm, creamy-yellow patina consistent with age and authentic tribal use. Minor natural fissures, organic imperfections, and age-related wear to the soot inlay are present, which heavily authenticate the pieces. No structural cracks or modern restorations.
