short description
The Bone Statue of Regma Nagas is one such rare treasure belonging to this tribe and must be admired for their craftsmanship as well as the symbolic artistry of indigenous peoples. This treasure is supported on an almost round wooden pedestal and carved in bone to a perfect life-like symbolization of a Regma Naga figure. Eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and chin-the engravings giving a vision of the figure's face-all give the spirit of an inherent realism along with a focus on traits that are human. This is the skill one should bear in mind; carving bone is not just an art but also requires patience to yield the final product. Intense faces are reminiscent of the diverse cultural practices of the tribe, one of which often distinguished individuals among the few to remember their ancestors. This statue speaks of the culture of the Regma Naga, which is realization of the link with their artistic traditions, as well as veneration for ancestors or other important figures in the community.
