notes: label: Description
content: A jacquard-woven square shawl with self fringe. Top and botton borders 3 1/4” deep; side borders 3 1/2” deep. Most yarns are wool; selvages of the field may be silk and top and bottom edges of the field may be cotton. Hand sewn flat seams; may be silk thread. White, black, light green, bright green and pink weft colors; gold and black warp colors. Pink, black, light green, red, grass green and white border warp colors. Rose, black, light green, red, grass green and white weft colors. A single double mirror image with a relatively small solid black center. The figures flow from the center outward, and this gives it the look of a pieced Indian shawl.
