Sack, hollow rectangle, is commonly referred to as a haversack. Such a bag has many meanings in the life of the Angami Naga of Northeast India. It is made of split cane, decorated with a woven net pattern, thereby creating a strong but flexible bag that can carry anything. The sack base has four cane pieces attached to it so that it can carry extra heavy weights without losing shape. The opening of the sack is secured with a thickly woven band to make it strong and prevent goods from spilling.
People from Angami Naga are located mainly in Nagaland, where they live a very rich cultural life with tradition and technology close to their daily being. Example of this strong relationship with materials and utility is a haversack for transport of food, tools, things, etc. The cane is locally sourced, and the splitting and weaving technique to create the net requires skills and patience, with these being passed on from generation to generation.The functional design draws much more attention for its aesthetic value. It thus speaks of the creativity and artistic work of the Angami Naga populace. The hollow rectangular-shaped bag stands as a testimony to tribal craftsmanship and shows how they have established the blend of use and tradition in functional art.
