  • Hand-wound Naga "Coral and Amber Glass" Heirloom Beads were originally hand wound glass trade beads created in the late 19th century up until the mid 20th century in China, and made to resemble precious red coral and golden amber. These richly colored beads were later traded among Naga people in Northern India and Burma. Because of their rarity and desirability, these "foreign" glass beads became treasured heirlooms among the Naga people. The beads were often strung with other high value indigenous Naga heirlooms, like these three brass pendants representing "Taken Heads of Vanquished Enemies".
  • Nagaland in Northeast India and Burma is a state in which different Naga tribal groups inhabit and govern. Throughout the 19th and into the early 20th centuries, the Naga gained notoriety for being active "Headhunters".
  • Headhunting was a cultural practice among Naga men to gain respect, power and honor as well as local fame. Headhunting carried several meanings among the Naga. It was viewed as an achievement that determines the status of a man in their society. For the Naga, a man must have taken at least one enemy’s head in his lifetime. The man who has more enemies’ heads taken has a higher status in the society and is well honored. It was also believed that bringing enemy heads back to the village was a sign of good luck for a bountiful harvest, prosperity for the community, and had a religious symbolism as well. It was believed that enemies’ heads could appease the wrath of malevolent spirits and remove any misfortune from the village.
  • Only a successful headhunter was allowed to tattoo his face and body, and as a demonstration of his prowess and skill, he could wear a brass head on a necklace for each head that he had seized.
  • After a successful head hunt on an enemy tribal group, a Naga warrior who possessed enough animals would have organized a feast for his fellow villagers. The Host acquired merit within the community, which was demonstrated by the horns of the slaughtered buffaloes and that were attached to his house walls.
  • This belief has not ended within Naga culture, but Christian missionaries and British colonialists convinced or forced the Nagas to give up the practice of taking human heads. Today, these powerful totems have been substituted by wooden and cast brass heads, but it is reported that the strength of the history of the ritual still thrives in the communities. 
  • Bead approx. 5mm x 6mm
  • Length Approx. 19"
  • Chinese hand-wound glass beads made to resemble coral and amber, strung on a cotton cord with brass prestige "Taken Heads" pendants. Used by Naga people as Heirloom and High Prestige Jewelry.

15 Minutes….with update x2
Color: Orange
Within 15 minutes my 10-month old puppy had one of the moose antlers torn half off. I’ll see if he is able to destruct any more of this “indestructible” toy. If it holds up I’ll come back and upgrade the number of stars but for now…not impressed. UPDATE: Sadly he was able to rip it open via the appendages (the legs). The main body of the toy seems pretty tough but no dog is going to keep away from the legs. Downgrade to 1 star. UPDATE #2: I just received my second attempt at using this “indestructible” toy. This time I went with the rino since the legs are rope and not a sewn on leg. Well, in about 5 minutes my puppy had the horn torn and the horn provides direct access to the inside stuffing. As mentioned above, the legs are rope. The design was pretty smart in that both the front legs is one posted of rope going through a hole made in the stuffed toy. Same for the rear legs. This prevents the dog tearing them off and getting access to the stuffing. Sadly the horn being torn off right away makes this toy destructible. I think the only way they may be successful calling this an indestructible toy would be if they made a ball out of the body material or perhaps something in the shape of a bone.

AWESOME TOY for aggressive chewers
My 4 legged fur baby has only had for a few days. Now we’ve purchased several others in the past and he LOVES them. EXTREMELY durable. He is a dachshund and loves to destroy his toys. It’s almost like it’s a mission to see how fast to get the stuffing and squeakers out of his toys and can say he has been unable to destroy any. Now the reason I gave this only 4 stars is because the end of the tail has hair like material and he did start tearing this apart. Was finding the hair on his blanket and hanging out of his mouth. So I just trimmed the tail and he is back to loving on his toy. I would highly recommend this to anyone.

Cute and my dog loves it
My dog loves toys she can play rough with both her teeth and paws and this one was loved the second it came out of the packaging. We liked that the eyes are sewn patches so nothing to swallow if it detaches (other than the material). The knotted ropes that form it’s arms and legs actually move through the body from side to side, which makes tugging games fun and interesting. We also liked that there were no dangling easy-to-chew off bits, for example, the ears are tiny nubs so she can’t get them off with her teeth easily. The stuffing is also firm and full so it’s like a soft toy to cuddle up with but with rope limbs to sink her teeth into. She rates it highly.

Chew proof except for stuffing
Color: Grey, Color: Grey
I left Sage with her new chew toy and was distracted by something in the other room. I came back not 5 minutes later, and this was what I saw! Stuffing all over the floor! And that was just the beginning. By the end of the day, I had cleaned up stuffing several times from separate sessions with the toy! The rest of the poor toy is holding together, except that it has lost a couple of squeakers. I don't know whether to recommend it or not. Sage is exceptionally, extraordinarily, extremely, immensely, and profoundly aggressive when she chews (on inanimate objects only -- no humans or other animals!).

Great hit with my dog
Color: Grey, Color: Grey
The gray rhino is a great hit with my dog. She's a medium size golden (53lbs) likes to chew and tug, but she is not not too aggressive with toys, and this has become her favorite toy. Over the last 2 weeks she's removed the top arms from the body and "killed" one of the squeakers, and the arms are now a separate tug toy. We could have put the arms back, but she figured out those come off, and she would take them out again. The armless rhino is still the one she carries around from room to room, plating tug and fetch with every day. The toy is very well stitched, the fabric is of good quality and there are no small pieces that come apart to be swallowed. It gets dirty from all the playing so I plan to throw it in the wash every month or so.
