Thai Silk Scarf

Plum-black diamonds fade into a solid wine-dark hem.

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. Repeated zigzag lattice in dark aubergine and faded red fills most of the cloth, softening toward a plain deep maroon band at the bottom. Edges look clean and folded. The weave is matte and fine.

Moody, tightly patterned, and not interested in small talk.
