Shawl c. 19th century

This 19th-century shawl, crafted by an anonymous artist, is a stunning example of intricate textile artistry. Featuring a delicate cream-colored background, the shawl is adorned with a vibrant border of paisley patterns in shades of red, purple, and gold. The intricate design and rich colors, reminiscent of the iconic Kashmiri shawls, showcase the skill of the unknown artist. This large shawl, currently housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, would have been a prized possession, reflecting both style and wealth during its time.
