Wow. A very beautiful throw — and clearly a real handmade item, unlike many other “kantha” pieces being sold these days. The one I received has a rich variety of patterns and colors, including patches that are real silk, with gold threading, etc. ALERT: This is NOT anything like a true quilt, as there is NO cotton batting between the two sides of the throw. It is for decoration only, or for very minimal covering, since it is so thin it won’t provide any real warmth. Mine also had a pronounced smell to it when I first opened the packaging, but a day hung outside in a protected area took care of that. Highly recommend!
