Comments

Beautiful colours and design. The photos of this shawl are not at all good. I will take some more so please ask for them plus photos of the damage.

Condition

The shawl looks crisp and clean with beautiful colours. One end has eight small holes, the other about twelve plus one corner has been nibbled. The centre has about nine very small darns and same number of small holes, couple of darkish marks, but these do not detract from the beauty of piece.
