Description

Shawl, dark blue twilled silk with brocade border of flowering branches — pre-buta-like — on a red ground on 2 adjoining sides, the other sides having only a pair of narrow red/yellow checked stripes. Because the brocade is worked warpwise at the sides, it appears less colorful than the bottom border which was brocaded in the weft.52” square.
