The Kunemechi is thus a classic rich man's house in the Chakhesang Naga tribe's culture, who inhabit the cold, hilly terrains of Phek district, Nagaland. This splendid house signifies wealth, generosity, and social status, especially marked by the ornamental horn structure called Ceka and the carved designs on the front wall.
In Chakhesang culture, only that person who has fed many people of the village in feasts of merit is entitled to decorate his house with Ceka. The horns signify respectability and community leadership, which means the owner has been using his wealth for the welfare of his people.

The front wall of Kunemechi is most beautifully carved with mithun and buffalo skulls, among the skulls of hunted animals. Each of these decorative carvings has deep symbolic values highlighting the owner's hunting prowess, generosity, and ability to provide for the village. Furthermore, these decorations partially serve as a historical account of his achievements and contributions to the community.
The construction and decoration of each Kunemechi represent the Chakhesang Naga values of honor, social responsibility, and communal harmony. The contemporary lifestyle has nonetheless begun to dilute these time-honored practices; yet, Kunemechi distinctly manifests tribal heritage, still preserved through oral traditions and cultural festivals.
