content: Two designs for woven shawls. At left, a design featuring paisley motifs, also referred to as Persian cones. Each cone or teardrop shape is bordered by yellow dotted lines and contains a fantastic plant inside. Dotted outlines of flower boughs in white, yellow, and red appear in the intervals between the paisley motifs. At right, boughs form a kind of escutcheon, where fantastic blossoms rise. Like the paisley motifs on the left, the right blossoms are outlined with yellow dotted lines.
