Vintage 1970s Indian Skirt Banjara Embroidered w Shisha Mirror Embroidery Size M zig zag taken under the armpitsThis is a vintage Indian black cotton skirt that features intricate Banjara type embroidery that incorporates Shisha mirror work. I think that they are still making cheaper versions of these in India, but this is an older skirt, dating to the 1970s or earlier, easy to judge just by the quality of the work and the quality of the materials. The waistband is also embroidered, measures 1 1 2 in width, closes with a single button and has an anti slip band
