Abia State is a state in southeastern Nigeria. This category lists craft traditions that are documented, practiced, or historically attested within Abia State.

Craft traditions included here are not necessarily exclusive to Abia State and may extend across neighbouring states or wider cultural areas. The classification reflects geographic presence and documentation rather than cultural ownership.

Scope

[edit | edit source]

This category may include articles related to:

  • ceramic and pottery traditions
  • textile and fibre crafts
  • woodcraft and carving
  • metalwork and related artisanal practices
  • other forms of traditional material culture documented in the state

Craft traditions are classified based on historical sources, ethnographic studies, museum collections, and field documentation.

Classification principles

[edit | edit source]
  • A single craft tradition may appear in multiple state categories.
  • State-based classification serves as a geographic reference and does not imply exclusivity.
