Tribe and clan traditions and loyalties play an important part in the life of Nagas. Weaving is a traditional art handed down through generations in Nagaland. Each of the tribe has unique designs and colours, producing shawls, shoulder bags, decorative spears, table mats, wood carvings, and bamboo works. Among many tribes, the design of the shawl denotes the social status of the wearer. Some of the more known shawls include "Tsungkotepsu" and "Rongsu" of the Ao tribe; "Sutam, Ethasu, Longpensu" of the Lothas; "Supong" of the Sangtams, "Rongkhim" and "Tsungrem Khim" of the Yimchungers; the Angami "Lohe" shawls with thick embroidered animal motifs etc.
