    The Naga are infamous for a head hunting practice that results in
    opposing warriors
    decapitation. Human heads, after being taken as trophies, are hung in the Naga “Baan” communal hut. The number of human trophy skulls collected indicates the degree of power for a Naga warrior. Head taking baskets; decorated in animal trophy skulls, are used to transport the human trophy heads taking in Naga combat during head hunting raids in neighboring villages. Naga headhunting is driven by belief in honor, loyalty and sacrifice.
