Description
Banjara Indian Vintage Upper Armband from Gujarat, India. A very nice looking tribal artwork that is decorated with metal beads and woven tassels. I did not find a closure for this arm band.
The Banjaras are a nomadic tribe of people from India, sometimes referred to as the gypsies of India. They are renowned for their unique and brightly colored textile designs. The Banjara people are believed to be the ancestors of the Roma gypsies of Europe. Traditionally, the Banjaras have been traders, cattle breeders, and transporters.
Length: Approx. 10 inches
Made circa 1960s-1970s. Sourced from Gujarat, India.
Items may be visibly faded, distressed, typical of age, and consistent with most of the textiles in stock, which distinguishes them from the newer, mass-produced textiles made for the tourism and import markets. Most items show some discoloration, wear, missing patches of embroidery or mirrors, and faint stains in some cases.
