Thai Silk Scarf

Metallic gold and pewter, crossed at the neck like two people agreeing politely

This scarf is from Thailand. It is silk. Hand-woven Thai silk scarves are generally made on small looms, with silk reeled from cocoons and dyed in saturated color. Looped and crossed at the neck, the cloth is glossy, with panels of bronze-gold shading to a steel gray-brown. The finish is satiny and slightly crinkled. Short threads hang from the ends of both tails.

Gleaming, gently worn, and ready for dinner.
