Thai Silk Shawl

Tomato red with pom-pom clusters scattered like tiny berries.

This shawl is from Thailand, and dates to the 20th century. It is silk. Silk is prized for its drape and sheen, and a silk scarf is light enough to wear through most of the year. Bright red cloth with a fine ribbed weave, decorated with clusters of looped and fluffy texture across one end. Long red fringe trails from both ends. Shown loosely twisted. The red looks deep and even. It measures 77 by 25 inches.

Red and fuzzy, and entirely unbothered by subtlety.
