Teal and Grey Tone India Jamawar Replica Wool Shawl, "Subtle Splendor"

Flowers and paisley in subtle brown, beige and teal cover a shawl from Sandeep Malhotra. It imitates the legendary jamawar work. These original textiles were embroidered by hand. So intricate was the work that a person could finish only one shawl in his lifetime. Such shawls were not sold, but were given to kings and queens who, in turn, gave the artisan properties according to the worth of the shawl. Authentic jamawar is virtually unavailable, but replicas such as this recall their amazing beauty.
