This is a peach angora shawl featuring an embellished silk border. The white silk border has been intricately embroidered with miniature white pearls and metallic copper threads in a beautiful running pattern of flowers and leaves. It has a copper piping on the inside. Angora is known for its softness, thin fibres, and what knitters refer to as a halo (fluffiness). It is also known for its silky texture and is much warmer and lighter than wool due to the hollow core of the angora fibre. This gives them their characteristic floating feel.The shawl has been hand woven by the tribal artisans of Himachal Pradesh and embroidered by the rural women of Rajasthan.
