Shawl Fragment (India)
This is a Shawl fragment. It is dated ca. 1835 and we acquired it in 1941. Its medium is wool and its technique is twill tapestry weave with supplementary weft. It is a part of the Textiles department.
Fragments such as this allow us to focus on the large patterned border at each end of a shawl, called the phala. The hashiya is the narrow border running down the long edges of the shawl and the tanjir is the narrow border running above and below the phala.
