indigenousnagaland #17 — Exotic And Mysterious
There are 7000 — 12000 Naga artifacts scattered in 45 museums in Britain, mainly in the Pitt Rivers Museum (Oxford), which houses the largest collection, followed by other substantial collections in the British Museum, the Cambridge University Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, and the Horniman Museum. According to Andy West, this painted an exotic image of the Nagas in the British public imagination, beginning from the mid-nineteenth century onward.
Andy West, in his book of coffee-table style, presents the various materials—both theoretical accounts of museum studies and material culture and various ethnographies on the Nagas — through a deft handling of sources with meticulous care. The book represents his cumulative interest in the Nagas since the early 1980s.
