 In Nagaland weaving is a traditional art handed down through the generations. Each of the major tribes has its own uniquely designed and coloured shawl. The Ao warrior would only wear the Tsungkotepsu, a red and black striped shawl with a white band in the middle embroidered with various symbols. Excellent buys are Naga shawls which are warm and colourful, handwoven shoulder bags,decorative spears, table mats, wood carvings and bamboo work. The sales emporia of Nagaland Handloom and Handicrafts Development Corporation opposite the State Transport bus at Kohima station is the best place for Naga handicrafts. There are a number of shops in the super market which stock Naga shawls, clothes, crockery and knick-knacks.
