Paisley Shawl Autumn/Winter Warmth Weave - Kashmir Court - Paisley Swirl in Autumn Hues **SOLD No Longer Available
Paisley Shawl designed for elegance in the mode of the grand shawls worn at the most influential courts of Kashmir, India, and France during the 17th century. This graceful shawl, or “shal,” exquisitely reflects an eclectic artistry drawn from the variety of cultures which harmoniously thrived in ancient Kashmir for many decades, a society of tolerance which included Hindu, Buddhist, Mughal, Persian, and a multitude of indigenous tribal traditions. It has been inspired by a flowing legacy of inner and outer beauty, created with the gloriously abundant display of flowers and refinement of craftsmanship which are hallmarks of highly prized Kashmiri Shawls.
