The most outstanding feature of the Ang's house however is an enormous carving cut out of a panel which forms part of the division between (55) living quarters and open hall. It is said to be as old as the village - the Ang's house. It is certainly the largest carving I have seen in any Naga house and the tree from which the block of wood was cut must have been gigantic.
