Fashioned during the winter months in villages nestled in the snow bound Himalayas, this enchanting shawl features a Jet Black background of soft Kashmiri wool lavishly adorned with garden borders of petite paisleys and delicate Himalayan blossoms edged with slender lines and waves. Five floral medallions float within the field, each individually shaped to resemble the beautiful hand-pierced copper lanterns used to light traditional Kashmiri homes and gardens. Entirely embroidered by hand, the artist has expertly selected to use lovely soft shades of Dusky Rose, Taupe, Natural Gold, and Soft Beige accented with rich, deep Saffron. Acquired directly from a shawl atelier in the high altitude region of western Kashmir, this supremely graceful stole size wrap imparts the natural joy of a Kind Soul. An exquisite and rare gem, this is a one of a kind collector’s shawl suitable for any occasion in these times, but a shawl that would have been worn at Court and other formal venues in the ancient kingdoms of the Subcontinent.
Sophisticated and charming, this exclusive shawl may be wrapped in normal fashion around the shoulders or shrugged up for extra warmth closer to the neck. Or alternatively, wear draped fully across the front with both ends flowing loosely over the shoulders and down the back, perfect for those glamorous occasions!
Fabric: Soft, high quality Kashmiri Wool Shawl
Warmth level: Warm midweight suitable for life in higher altitudes of the Himalayas, unlined
Stole Size Dimensions: 27" wide x 70" long plus 2” plus 2” tassels and hand-pulled decorative thread work at each end border
