Welcome to the Tribal Crafts gallery of Artseden !

Every item you see in the Tribal Crafts gallery of Artseden originates from the indigenous rustic practicum of a tribal village in India. Being handmade using traditional methods, the finish of the items in many cases is decidedly raw and rustic in its appeal and originality.

These items remind you of ancient artefacts uncovered in the earliest ruins of Mohenjo Daro and Harrapa  the most ancient civilisations found in the Indus valley .Tribal creativity expresses itself thru materials like panels of wood, looms of log and bamboo, bell metal and brass utilitarian and decorative items  

Please feel free to browse not only the items listed in the gallery but also the informative links about the history and tradition associated with the items and their regional location in the country 

India has a large but depleting population of tribal artisans. There are about 40 major tribes and hundreds of subtribes spread over the length and breadth of the country. These tribes though similar in many ways differ largely in their customs and their handicrafts.

The age old rural and tribal crafts are a part of India's rich and diverse heritage, preserved well uneroded by the machine era.
