| Artist/Maker | |
| Place of origin |
Shawl with deep borders of heavy pattern encroach upon a plain white centre which is invaded by delicate fronds bearing fern-like cones. The border design is an intricate interlacing of leaf-like cones.
The shawl is woven with woollen wefts on a printed silk warp which is white in the centre, deep pink for the borders, and pink, green, yellow and blue for the coloured end-pieces and twisted silk warp fringe. The plain centre of the shawl is in a fine twill. The pattern is bound in a fairly coarse twill. The shawl's selvedges are woven with emerald green silk in a satin weave.
