Rows of oval medallions in turquoise, poppy red, marigold and black fill the field, each one holding its own picture: bouquets of roses and tulips in a bowl, a lady at a palace doorway, a couple meeting in a garden, and eagles soaring over hills and water. Between the medallions sit small orange star-flowers on a natural ground. A wide border of turquoise and mustard panels with round rosettes runs down the long sides, and each end carries a further row of medallions before finishing in a band of tiny flowers and a soft fringe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMedallion shawls like this are sometimes called storybook shawls: every oval is a separate scene, so the more you look, the more you find. Flowers, figures and birds alternate across the field, and the bright frames keep the whole design orderly even though it is full of colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow it is made\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pattern is not printed or embroidered onto the cloth. It is woven into Kashmiri pashmina, colour by colour, using the Kani technique. Turn the shawl over and you will see the reverse of the weave, a riot of thread changes behind every medallion. That is the honest back of a woven pattern, not a fault.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe colour\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTurquoise, red, marigold and black on a natural ground is a joyful, festive mix. It sits beautifully over black, ivory, teal, mustard or maroon, and is a natural conversation piece at a winter wedding, a mehndi or a dinner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKashmiri pashmina\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKani pattern woven into the cloth, not printed or embroidered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eField of oval medallions with flower bouquets, palace and garden scenes, and soaring birds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWide turquoise and mustard border with rosettes along both sides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRow of medallions at each end, finishing in a small floral band with a soft fringe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproximately 45\" × 85\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry clean only by a specialist.
