Thai Silk Scarf

Black zigzag motifs march along an apricot ground with ruffled fringe.

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. Woven apricot-orange cloth carries fine rows of dark and red dashes, and a wide band of black stepped diamonds and small floral shapes. Heavy twisted fringe with knotted ends hangs below. Some slight uneven wear shows in the weave.

Plenty of pattern, and not a bit shy.
