A close dome is the headgear of the Naga tribe, which provides it with beauty and an ability in craftsmanship. It is an ornament woven with colored cane strips, speaking the truth about the close relationship that it possesses with nature as well as art. It has the oval base and another cane strip used to tie firmly makes the structure durable.
What makes this hat distinct is the small loops present on its outside surface for an attachment of ornaments like feathers, animal hairs, or some items simplifying the clan of the wearer or the particular ceremony. Thus, it makes the cane lightweight and very resistant to the hilly area and humid climate of Nagaland. This cane hat is worn in the celebration of festivals, dances, and traditional rituals and combines both functionality and symbolism. It finds a vital role in further distinguishing visually and creating an aura of prestige for the wearer and normally sees to their social status or affiliation within the tribe.
