Shawl of printed silk gauze. Semi-circular and seamless with one selvedge forming the straight side of the semi-circle, and the narrow turned hem on the curved sides running into the selvedge on the opposite side.
Each half of the semi-circle is printed with a patterned field enclosed in a wide border, this allows for the shawl to be worn folded double to form a quarter circle, the central point of which is weighted over to one side or the other by a tassel, thus giving a straight edge to be placed across the shoulders.
The printed patterns differ slightly on the two halves of the shawl. One side has a field of tiny brightly-coloured flower sprigs closely-set in straight rows on the white silk ground, set off by an outer band of the same flower sprigs on a ground printed bright green. The border is composed of repeated scrolling shapes and cartouches, some with flower fillings and other forms of decoration, some containing a single elaborate motif on a vermilion ground in the smaller cartouches, and on a maroon ground in the larger ones.
The other side has a similar border and decorative band with the difference that the maroon cartouches alternate with green in the border, and the flower sprigs in the inner border or band are on a maroon ground. The central field on this side is filled with tiny crescents and pendants of flowers, connected by curving dotted lines.
The shawl has a silk fringe knotted into it on the curved side, and a heavy silk tassel hanging from the centre of the straight top.
