The "Deppa" or leg guard is a striking representation of the functional and decorative craftsmanship of the Naga tribe. Crafted from finely split cane, this protective gear was traditionally worn during tribal rituals, hunts, or even in battle, reflecting both utility and artistic expression. Tapering toward the ankle, the leg guard fits tightly against the leg. The upper part of the piece is extremely colorful in red and is embroidered with intricate geometric patterns made out of orchid skin-an almost standard decorative material in Naga artifacts representing vibrancy and tribal identity. The designs are certainly not mere decoration; they carry symbolic connotations that are embedded in tribal tales and status markers . The light weight and durability of cane indicate their skill in using local and renewable resources. At the same time, the artistic visual impact of combining geometric design with natural colors and materials speaks to the aesthetic consciousness of the Naga people.
