Hi Bill there is a lot off new old makestuf (fake) on the market off the naga .


Try to get this cataloque the nagas from Grata Somare and Leonardo Vigorelli

this is from 1992 an exibition in Galleria Lorenzelli

Also working on this book is M. Alemchiba he is the Director of the Naga Institute of Art and Culture and of the National Museum of Kohima Nagaland.
He is also the author of studies on the history and culture of his homeland ,
being the most renown expert .


Bonid Behari Goswami has been the joint Director of the Anthropological Survey of India until 1991 and visiting fellow in the Indian Institute of Advanced study Shimla .
This guy is also known for his authoritative contribution on the people
of Mizoram,Nagaland,Manipur and Assam.

This give you an better impression on the authentic Naga stuff .

Don't Forget that the English people has been in that area a long time
the most real thing you can find overthere in very old collections taken whit them more than 100 years ago .
