"The Banjara - an ethnic group composed of semi-nomadic tribes found throughout the Indian subcontinent - are renowned for their highly colorful textiles. Embellished with mirrors, shells, and intricate embroidery. Banjara work displays a surprisingly modern aesthetic. Created to showcase embroidery skill, protect the owner from harm, and channel auspicious powers, the Banjara technique is unique in India and a celebration of the strength of the women who practice it." - Textiles of the Banjara

This textile is one of several that we hand-sourced in India directly from antique merchants. Their unique patina, wear and imperfections carry a glimpse into the culture and regions they resided in, the passing of time, and the dedication, labor, and skill of their makers. less
