Large, Superb Old Naga NE India Headhunter Granary Door

A large granary door from Nagaland, NE India that encompasses much of the classic iconography of headhunter culture.

Two carved taken heads, large, spreading mithun horns, 34 hornbills, and two dao holder representations at the bottom. Two panels were joined to make this monumental piece. Sinew fastening throughout. From a small, old collection we have recently acquired.

From the Tangkul Region, late 19th/ early 20th century. Very fine, very rare.
