Bamboo Work(Basketry)
The forests in Nagaland are rich in Bamboo and cane. Naturally therefore,
Nagas are expert basket makers. The craft is restricted to men. |

Blacksmithy
Blacksmithy, though a relatively recent craft, is more well-liked. The smiths create the normal requirements of villagers like the Dao, axe, sickle, knives, spear points and butts etc.

Pottery
Pottery is not very well-liked and is practiced in very little villages. There is no spinning wheel; the
Nagas make their pots by the use of hands only. The craft is restricted to women and the turnover is not large. |

Weaving
In Nagaland, rotary and weaving is an exclusive
monopoly of the women. Colourful shawls, bags and jackets are
woven out of this workmanship. |

Wood-Carving
Woodcarving is another work of artistry in the blood of Naga people. It can be explained under three heads namely headhunting, decoration of the
Morungs (man's communal houses) and funerary images erected. |
