short description
The exquisite weaving skills of the Tangsa Tribe of Arunachal Pradesh, India, can be seen in their traditional red shoulder bags. Examples of how much the Tangsa has practiced, and refined, artistic talent are above these beautifully woven pieces with geometrical forms and a black strap, which serve as staples for the Tangsa people aesthetically and practically.
These types of bags have sturdy exquisite handcrafted patterns that have various meanings to them. The designs are often tribal symbols, interpreted from nature, or based on spiritual beliefs. Red-bold dominates their textiles, and it symbolizes energy, might, and identity. And black makes the strap strong and comfortable to carry, allowing it to be used daily-for carrying small loads during agricultural work, household work, or travel.
This bag is used at home but is also a part of festivals and ceremonies wherein it is worn as a proud tradition and craftsmanship under the Tangsa. The tradition of weaving these bags is then passed on through generations so that it is preserved in the Tangsa ethos.
With the increasing international demand for handwoven tribal textiles, these bags are receiving a large market in the handicraft arena, thus achieving economic empowerment for the Tangsa artisans while preserving their rich traditions.
