short description
This woven-fabric shoulder bag made by Mishmi of Arunachal Pradesh is a perfect example of traditional craft in all possible dazzling color and forms. This wonderful bag is made with woven fabric carrying highly decorative and intricate multi-colored geometric patterns, reflects artistic spirit and painstaking detail so much so that it only reminds you of the Mishmi tribe. These geometric symbols often embody a meaning that has derived from the connecting with nature and cultural heritage of the tribe, giving strong expression visually to their identity. Turquoise green fabric made this strap, which looks good against all the brilliant colors of the woven fabric. Huge pompoms hang at the base of the bag, adding to the fun and liveliness of its design. Although pompoms primarily state a decorative intent, they are a unique element of the weaving by Mishmi making, thereby giving extra texture to the overall look. Mishmi tribes have a textile tradition that is old. Their weaving is an essential feature of the cultural manifestation of the group. Though these beautiful woven purses may be items of day-to-day usage, they are a depiction of a tribal artisan's ability to create items that are both utilitarian and quite in terms of aesthetic value. Therefore, it carries the ceremonial aspects of culture and skill that are closely produced by the tribes. Carried or draped at the time of ritual celebration and daily chores, such a piece as the woven shoulder bag reiterates to the Mishmi art tradition and to its corresponding place in the natural and cultural environment of the tribe.
