A finely handwoven Kashmiri pashmina shawl in indigo and bronze, patterned end to end in narrow horizontal bands — rows of large floral buta on deep indigo alternating with fine geometric and paisley stripes in stone and bronze — and finished with a plain indigo panel at each end.
This is the finest pashmina in the collection after our ring shawls. The yarn is spun thin enough that the cloth reads almost like silk in the hand, and the pattern is woven through rather than applied — hold it to the light and the design is legible from both sides.
What sets this piece apart is density. Rather than a single motif repeating across an open field, the whole length is filled with band after band of different pattern, each one changing scale and rhythm against the next. Every band is a separate set of instructions for the weaver to follow. Here the indigo bands act as breaks in that rhythm — the large buta sit on clear ground and read at full strength, while the finer stone-and-bronze rows between them recede.
Indigo with bronze is the more formal of our two colourways in this weave, and the one that carries best under evening light. It reads equally well on a man or a woman.
