Kashmiri Shawl SIZE: 75" x 60" age: late 19th century approx. FROM: Kashmir NOTE: a primitive Kashmiri shawl, probably made for local use. The ground fabric is a silk/cotton blend (tani). The silk and cotton embroidery tells a story of a long life where cruder embroidery was stitched to replace that which had worn out. It is backed with plain red cotton. The multi colored fringe is gone and only remnants are left.
