short description
It is an excellent piece of traditional indigenous craftsmanship from the Mishmi Tribe of Arunachal Pradesh - that black shoulder bag adorned with woven multi-colored geometric patterns as it reflects the inherent artistic traditions and rich weaving skills of the tribe. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this bag serves multiple purposes in the life of Mishmi people.
It is used for agricultural work, for household purposes, and as an exportable tribal handicraft: it is a fine example of functional artistry from the Mishmi weavers. The patterns spiral in all geometric weave on the fabric: woven with even greater attention, symbols at times encrypt rather deeper meanings of the people, such as wholesomeness, myths, and spirituality. Hence, the weight of the material makes it possible to carry stuff essential for fields, markets, and transport to far-flung places.
Women of the Mishmi community weave with a tradition, and this evident in these bags-dark designs as exquisite pattern-weaving skill. Such bags, through their presence in this growing admiration of the world for handmade tribal artifacts, find a newer platform in the international handicraft market, contributing to economic empowerment of the community. The Mishmi tribe today holds in its cultural legacy, the old fabric textile and has creatively adapted to challenges of the modernity through preservation and promotion.
