Shaphee Lanphee
The literal meaning of the fabric 'Shaphee' is "the fabric of animal and war". It is said that the king saw a man of Khoisnam clan wearing this Shaphee Lanphee and riding a horse. The king then adopted it as a form of honouring brave Naga Chiefs and soldiers for their bravery in a successful war of Manipur. It is exclusivity a product of Khoisnam lineage. Shaphee Lanphee is woven and embroidered, usually as a shawl, with embroidered motifs with cotton threads generally by Meitei women of Manipur.
