Indian Naga Tribe Red Agate Bead Brass Tribal-Style Face Necklace The Naga Tribe is an important ethnic group located in Northeast Asia, primarily in Nagaland, Northeast India. Naga jewelry has deep cultural roots, dating back hundreds of years, stemming from the tribe's expression of nature, spiritual beliefs, and social identity. The Naga people place great importance on ornaments, especially jewelry, which plays a vital role in their daily lives and rituals. Naga jewelry is often closely linked to their religious beliefs and spiritual world. Many pieces symbolize the worship of nature, respect for ancestors, and prayers for divine protection. Since ancient times, in many different Naga tribes, ornaments have been more than just accessories; they have been powerful symbols, defining both personal and tribal identity, symbolizing status and military achievements. British and Indian rule, Christian missionaries, and Western education brought social change to this remote and rugged northeastern corner of India, gradually diminishing their perceived importance. As modern Naga people seek a new self-awareness, they are embracing the past and shaping the future. The necklace is quite old and shows signs of wear and tear, but it is still very beautiful overall. It does not affect its usability.
