Thai Silk Scarf

Tiny orange diamonds dot a chocolate ground in neat rows.

This scarf is from Thailand. It is silk. Thai silk is known for its slightly uneven, nubby texture and for color that seems to shift as the cloth moves. Rows of small saffron-gold star-diamond shapes repeat over a dark brown field. A wine-red border with a gold dashed line runs along the bottom. The cloth is folded flat with a matte, fine texture.

A sweet-shop pattern in a very serious coat.
