Quick Zoom

Early 20th century
Approx. 6ft 2in x 2ft 7in (190.5 x 83.8 cms)
Pashmina wool


'Kanni' technique, where toothpick like sticks with thread wrapped around them were used to create the pattern.These minute sticks are passed through finely woven Pashmina wool shawls - a process that is painstakingly long..brThis elegant stole that has flowers rendered in a naturalistic rather than a stylized form is exquisite and was probably made for a wealthy merchant of Hyderabad. It is very rare to find a shawl from Hyderabad.
