This vintage Kashmiri shawl, crafted from a luxurious blend of wool and silk, beautifully showcases the region’s renowned sozni embroidery technique. The creamy, softly lustrous base cloth provides a graceful canvas for the intricate hand-embroidered paisley motifs, worked in vibrant saffron-orange silk thread. Each end of the shawl is adorned with grand, mirrored boteh (paisley) forms, their curving shapes richly filled with delicate floral detailing and framed by flowing vines and miniature blossoms. The border is finely embroidered with a rhythmic pattern, adding balance and refinement to the design. Lightweight yet warm, this shawl exemplifies the fusion of comfort and artistry, reflecting the timeless elegance of Kashmiri textile tradition and the cultural significance of its motif-rich designs.
