Shawl (India)
This is a Shawl. It is dated 1830–1850 and we acquired it in 1966. Its medium is wool and its technique is twill tapestry weave. It is a part of the Textiles department.
The serpentine shapes that make up this pattern reveal how much the paisley cone stretched over time. The pattern of blue-green paisleys in the background is nearly obscured by an overlay of serpentine forms in off-white.
