short description
Avado headdress is a simple type of headdress of the Sema Naga tribe of Nagaland. It is a thick cane strip twisted in an oval shape that sits right upon the head and is worn by the tribesmen during dances and warrior ceremonies. This cane headdress is characterized by several ornaments attached to it: coiled cane strings and tufts of animal hair, which symbolically represent strength, prestige and linkage to the warrior heritage of the tribe. The animal hair in tribal attire symbolizes valor or ancestral power; the cane represents sustainable and eco-conscious practices based on traditional craftsmanship. More than just ornamental, the Avado serves to convey cultural values of tribal identity and social standing. The light, airy fabric is well adapted to ceremonial attire in the tropical heat of the region.
