Kuki Snake Pattern Earrings
The Kuki tribe is one of the well known tribes of the Naga group. Their jewellery is easily recognizable by their use of tiny seed beads, woven together in snake-inspired patterns.
The Nagas are a group of tribes from the North East of India - from Nagaland and surrounding areas, who have shown exceptional focus in maintaining their ancient culture, and cultural practices. This includes their jewellery, which is highly symbolic and representative of their beliefs and interactions with the natural world. Variations are seen across tribes and tribes can be easily recognised by the design and style of jewellery.
This piece of jewellery is part of our bold and big Jhansi collection. Jhansi is our collection of authentic Tribal & Folk jewellery. The Jhansi range is sustainable and naturally of a bohemian nature, utilizing natural stones, seeds, ceramic, wood, natural fibres, and more. Almost always, the materials used in such jewellery are endemic to the region and naturally occuring. Metal also forms a big part of folk jewellery, carrying rich histories, and cultural significance.
