short description
The community of Bori- a native tribe of Arunachal Pradesh, India- is known all over for its traditional and unique dresses and handicrafts. Headgear out of cane and bamboo through basketry techniques with Mithun hide (the bovine highly valued), is most probably the most noticeable of all accessories. It holds great significance as a marker of culture and is usually worn by men during festivals, rituals, and warrior ceremonies. The cane and bamboo weaving makes it durable and at the same time flexible while the Mithun hide adds an ornamental and emblematic touch signifying strength and tribal identity. The Bori make use of locally available natural resources which indicate the very strong bonding with nature and sustainable living practices.
The headgear, albeit special for other occasions, is added on top of the traditional attire during festivals, tribal get-togethers, and war dances, symbolizing one's courage, honor, and social status. This type of headgear making continues to run in the family, thus conserving the elenches of the rich culture of the tribe. Even today, these headpieces remain an important part of identity and a showcase of tribal culture in galleries, demonstrating the very own traditions of the Bori people of Arunachal Pradesh.
