This is a shawl or dupatta made from 2 pieces of cotton sewn together to make a wider shawl it has been dyed to produce indigo orange, yellow, magenta areas also using bhandini process to interest to item as a whole. In addition, embroidered patterns- mainly flowers- have been added at various places around the shawl. These have been somewhat randomly placed making it even more interesting to examine. The embroidery uses several colors of thread as well what is likely- silver or "zari" there may be some gold thread as well. The pieces measures ca. 68" x 82"- but it can be stretched or not - making the size imprecise. No significant stains observed but some could exist.
