Skirt Date Unknown

This handwoven “Skirt” by a Banjara artist showcases a traditional weaving style. The garment is made of cotton and features a striking horizontal pattern in red, brown, and green hues. This type of skirt, known as a "ghagra", is an integral part of the Banjara community's traditional attire. The detailed stripes and the vibrant colors are indicative of the craftsmanship and aesthetic sensibilities of the Banjara weavers.
