Shawl (India)
This is a Shawl. It is dated 1801–50 and we acquired it in 1955. Its medium is wool and its technique is tapestry weave. It is a part of the Textiles department.
Chandar, or moon shawls, were modeled after 16th-century Ottoman carpets. The flowering plant version of the paisley motif, seen within the field of colored stripes, can be traced to the Mughal period (1586–1753) in India.
