text: While they did not carry panji quivers which have turned into well known 'tails' among the Sema, Angami, Ao and others, they had cowrie covered bands from which usually the quivers hang, and had wrapped them crosswise across their chests. Their cloths too they had put on in a folded and very particular manner as my photographs will show.
