About this object
Narrative
Physical description
A woman's large square shawl of finely woven light brown wool, edged with wide (15.5 cm) bands of bias-cut, embroidered, pale beige silk textile and ribbon with multi-coloured floral and geometric designs of predominently red and green. The design is face-up on two adjacent sides and face-down on the other two adjacent sides, so that when the shawl is folded to form a triangle, the designs appear on the same side. Light brown silk fringe on all sides.
