Comments

Have a close look at the unsual design of the mehrabs and the way the lower edging border infiltrates them. Very nice colours. One would buy this shawl for the unusual design.

Condition

A little pink colour run mainly to one deep end, but a little to the other. One side border has two one in or 2.5 cm tears which could be conserved. The whole of the central field has very pale stains which look like paint.
