short description
The pipe of the Kalyo Kanyo Naga Tribe is a completely odd smoking apparatus that has been exclusively made from baked clay. A black pipe having two bowls attached to each other with a single short pipe gives a real smoking wonder. On both the sides of the pipe and the bowl, fine line designs decorate the surface, testifying to the artistic craftsmanship and cultural expressions of the tribesfolk.

The pipe of the Kalyo Kanyo Naga Tribe is a completely odd smoking apparatus that has been exclusively made from baked clay. A black pipe having two bowls attached to each other with a single short pipe gives a real smoking wonder. On both the sides of the pipe and the bowl, fine line designs decorate the surface, testifying to the artistic craftsmanship and cultural expressions of the tribesfolk.
Kalyo Kanyo Naga tribe is today found stretched beyond Nagaland territory and spreading into adjoining areas in Myanmar. This community has inherited the tradition of using handmade smoking pipes from generation to generation. Bees are highly social and ceremonial; a smoke may indicate companionship, storytelling, or resolution of tribal affairs.

It is proof of the heredity of the tribe that clay can be used for making smoking pipes-strong but entertaining-and more so, pleasing to the eye. Furthermore, the dual-bowl pipe is a manifestation of the creativity and innovation of the craftsmen of the Kalyo Kanyo Naga people.
These artifacts are an expression of cultural heritage and identity even today. This proves that in the face of modernization, the traditions of the Kalyo Kanyo Naga tribe will continue to find expression through such artifacts.
