Hi ! Today I am going to tell you about some tribal wooden jewelry made by the local women Santhal artisans near Shantiniketan which is my workspace (Birbhum District in West Bengal). Also I would like to add that we do not make these articles in our workshop in Shantiniketan nor do we source them. We only make articles made from leather , Batik , Kantha Stitch, fabric and Indian Cork. So this essay is purely for informative purpose. My workplace Shantiniketan is very dear to me. And I would like to share some glimpses of the lifestyle of local women in Shantiniketan for my sisters here . In winter time tourists flock to Shantiniketan . So at that time the Santhal artisans make these items to sell.They do not make these items throughout the year. These are only available in December and January for the tourist season. In the photo you can see some necklaces made from colorful wooden beads .For some of these necklaces The locket is made from Bamboo (You can see the half oval shaped lockets in the photo) . This half oval shaped locket is basically a very small bamboo tray which is known as Kulo in Bengali .Many years ago the normal size bamboo trays were used to clean rice and lentils in Bengali households. The artisans have taken the inspiration from those bamboo trays to make these beautiful lockets.
These leather coin purses are a classic example of age old Shantiniketan craft. It was introduced in West Bengal, India during the 1940s. The traditional motifs used for this Shantiniketan coin purse depict the rich cultural heritage of India. It derives its name from the place where it was first introduced – Shantiniketan. The Santiniketan style evolved as a result of the Art Movement. These products have now become world famous for their applique, batik and embossed craft work. Moreover the process of burnishing the leather gives it an elegant sheen and brings out the colors. The embossing craft is an intricate process. After the final leather is made, it is then stitched into the desired product . Finally the product is coated with a lacquer finish for making the product shiny and long lasting.
