Hidden among the branches are pairs of parrots, perched and in flight, so the closer you look, the more you find. The long sides carry a border of flame-shaped cones, and each end opens into a deep palla of maroon and gold arches, each framing a peacock with its tail sweeping down, before finishing in bands of red, maroon, ochre and olive stripes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bird-and-flower garden is one of the most loved layouts in Kashmiri weaving: a dense, even jaal across the field, with birds placed so the eye keeps finding them. Here the parrots fill the field and the peacocks are saved for the palla, where they stand in a row under the arches. Gold zari runs through the vines and the palla, so the whole shawl glints as it moves.\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 the pashmina, colour by colour, with the zari carried through the weave alongside the coloured threads. Turn the shawl over and you will see the reverse of the weave, with the thread changes and zari floats visible. 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\u003eThis is a true festive red, warmed by gold rather than brightened by it. It is a natural choice for a winter wedding, a mehndi or a barat, and sits beautifully over ivory, gold, black or maroon. Worn over something plain, it becomes the whole outfit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePashmina\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKani pattern woven into the cloth, not printed or embroidered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRed field with an all-over floral jaal and pairs of parrots among the vines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGold zari woven through the field and palla\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlame-cone border along both sides; arched maroon and gold palla with peacocks at each end\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStriped ends in red, maroon, ochre and olive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproximately 45\" × 85\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry clean only by a specialist.
