Black pure wool shawl with intricately embroidered border.

A Jet black ‘Neemdori’ (narrow border) shawl with a floral theme executed in the diamond or 'chashm-e-bulbul' (eye of the Bulbul/nightingale) pattern of embroidery, in rust and pale gold hues, this is a fine example of distinguished craftsmanship. This style of needlework renders a delicate, timeless beauty and unsurpassable appeal to this work of art. The narrow, but intricately done border provides a rich contrast in the foreground, to the subtle weave of the 'Khali-matan' (plain central field) of the shawl, making it an all occasion shawl for all age groups.

That it is entirely done in hand, right from the picking of the wool, spinning and dying of the yarn, weaving of the fabric, through to the embellishment with the fine needlework, further makes it a welcome addition to any collector’s chest.
