Thai Silk Scarf

Black cloth capped by a patterned band in orange, green and rust, like a stage curtain

This scarf is from Thailand. It is silk. Thailand has a long tradition of hand-weaving silk, and its scarves and shawls are often valued for their depth of color. Plain, slightly nubby black fills the lower half. Densely woven bands of orange, rust and green, with small triangle and zigzag motifs, run across the upper half. Black twisted fringe with knotted ends hangs at the bottom.

All the party is at the top, and well earned.
