Shawl (Scotland)
This is a Shawl. It is dated ca. 1865 and we acquired it in 1937. Its medium is wool and its technique is woven. It is a part of the Textiles department.
Some European shawls have a solid-colored field without ornamentation. This may have been a result of the way it was worn: the square shawl would be folded into a triangle and draped over the shoulders, making the borders the most visible and important part of the design.
