The Avado is an oval-shaped headdress that is beautifully crafted, which is featured within the Naga tribe. The team is very popular for its elaborate ceremonial dressing. The major material used in constructing this headdress is a plaited cane and an aesthetic and cultural mix. The body of the Avado has been decorated using coiled cane strips and black animal hair, increasing its value as a visible object as well as a ceremonial item.
Adhered to this is a mat of bamboo weaving providing a firm backing, one of whose surfaces is clad with black cotton fabric. This adds mosaicking texture to it and acts as a protective layer. A good feature of Avado is that one end is wrapped with cotton pieces, which may signify perhaps a cult or ritualism. Such types of headgears are an integral and significant part of the Naga culture and identity, especially during rites of passage, festivals, and warrior events.
