713 SOLD Huge Vintage Embroidered Bag Rabari Tribal textile

Sold to a discerning Antique Art-Lover

***

Large bag made out of an Antique Dharaniyo from Gujarat

The mirrors used include the diamond-shape cut which is rare! This type of cut more or less disappeared a few decades ago.

The embroidery is estimated to be a few decades old and has signs of wear but the style of the embroidery is so clearly old that the overall impact is powerful.

The bag itself has been made recently.

Please note that the embroidery is a few decades old and there are signs of wear and tear. Threads have frayed & mirrors are missing.

Nevertheless the impact is stunning.

The size of the main storage area excluding the handle is 24 inches x 20 inches x 5 inches.

There is a lining inside.
