1696 SOLD Figurative Hunting Shawl from Kashmir

Sold to a discerning Antique Art-Lover

***

Figurative Hunting Shawl with a pleasing palette of magenta contrasting with black

Humans on horses, giraffes, tigers, deer, elephants and more....

Note how the direction of the figures changes at the mid point ... so when the shawl is worn over the shoulders the figures are all seen upright.

Well thought out borders all around - the outer border has the predators and the inner border has the prey.

Note the size of the figures and the density of the design ...

Contains Pashmina wool

This is a recent production that deserves to be collected for the amount of thought and craftsmanship that has gone into it.
