Artigiane della comunità Banjara o tribù del Kutch

Large Hand-Embroidered Tribal Rug with Human Figures and Mirrors – Banjara / Kutch, Gujarat, India, 20th Century - (No. 4) A large wall hanging rug, entirely handmade, featuring rich embroidery, appliqué and mirror work (Shisha). Of substantial dimensions (189 x 123 cm), it presents a highly elaborate composition on multiple concentric frames. In the center are two stylized human figures (traditional women) with raised arms, one of which holds an object (likely a jug or a ritual element). Around them, numerous typical motifs unfold: large rosettes, geometric stars, stylized flowers, concentric squares and intricate patterns. Numerous round Shisha mirrors are hand-applied over the entire surface, creating a beautiful luminous and sparkling effect. The borders are particularly rich, with multiple decorative bands, zig-zag motifs (wolf teeth), checkerboard patterns and vivid contrasting colors among blue, red, purple and orange. This type of tapestry was traditionally made by the nomadic Banjara (Lambani) communities or by the artisans of Kutch in Gujarat, often used for wedding decorations, ceremonial purposes, or as a wall hanging in traditional homes. P.S. This piece is part of a rich collection of tapestries of various sizes, all handmade with different colors, patterns and ages.
