Jamdani Shawl
Early 19th century

Woven in Dacca, Bangledash using cotton threads. This shawl would have been made for export, for Western women to fold into a triangle and use as a shawl.


Cataloguing

The borders with a flower meander in white cotton, which shines against the cotton muslin ground, a narrow inner border or guard stripe with small stylised flowerheads, the outer with larger blossoms.



5ft; 1.50 m square


Condition

There are two very small marks centre left. Another bottom right. I have placed a pinhead next to them, so you can see the size.  There are light brownish markings where the shawl has been folded and stored. I feel fairly sure that a conservator could remove these.
