19th century AD. A woven vegetable fibre (rattan?) basket with reinforcing rods, lateral loops, attached monkey skull with tassels. 390 grams, 34cm (13 1/4"). Property of an American gentleman; acquired on the London art market in the 1990s. Such baskets, which are often decorated with multiple skulls and teeth, were allegedly used by the Naga when collecting human heads. The Naga tribes live in the mountains of north-east India. Head-hunting was an important practice to them, for the sucess of their crops depended on a sprinkling of blood from a stranger over the fields. Head taking was also vital to ensure the health of the community and the wealth of the village as a whole. Once certain tattoos showed the wearer had taken an enemy's head. Costumes and ornaments of hair, fur, shells, teeth, cane, ivory, carved wood and monkeys' skulls were worn not only for aesthetic effect, but possessed great power in their own right. The taking of heads and or the giving of mithun feasts earned individual Nagas the right to wear distinctive and powerful ornaments, which in turn gave them higher status within the tribe. Cultural changes came with British rule and the arrival of Christian missionaries, and head-hunting was outlawed in late 19th Century, although it was not until the early 20th century that the practice finally ceased. Fine condition, usage wear. .
