Gorgeous hippie vibes from this mustard yellow 60s/70s geometric floral embroidered maxi skirt. Features hand-embroidered flowers, mirrors, & decorative flourishes on woven mustard yellow cotton fabric. The skirt is very full & gathered at the waist into an indigo-dyed waistband that finishes w/a drawstring tie at the left side. Vibrant colors of pink, red, green, blue, & white. Beautiful handiwork from the Banjara Tribe of the Rajasthan Desert in Central India.

The Banjara or Lamans people originally came from Afghanistan before settling in Rajasthan & other parts of India. Together with the Domba, they are sometimes called the "Gypsies of India" Lambani or Banjara embroidery is a combination of colorful threads, design patterns, mirror work, stitching patterns appliqué, or patchwork.
