Thai Scarf with Slight Pattern

Mustard clouds on ivory, banded and dotted like a map of a sandy coast

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. Narrow cloth with a pale ivory center between two cloudy bands of golden mustard. The lower band has small ringed diamond dots in a curving row. The surface looks light and slightly translucent, with straight cut ends.

A sunny blot of dye and not a hint of embarrassment.
