A stunning Dorukha Double Sided Pashmina Shawl

Words cannot describe the beauty that has been created through the gracefulness of the curves, the small motifs coming together to create larger motifs that make up the larger design. And EVERY micro motif has a contrasting border around the field... 

A comment by noted expert F. Ames "a finely wrought reversible (dorukha) rumal, c 1870, of which very few exist. It’s similar to a pair in the Cooper Hewitt Museum."

78 x 78in. (198.2 x 198.2cm.)

"Sirf Ehsaas hai yeh... rooh se mehsoos karo" (lyrics by urdu poet Gulzar) - sometimes beauty is so indescribable that one can only 'experience' it with one's soul ... one cannot write it down or read about it to 'get' the essence.

MUSEUMS & SERIOUS COLLECTORS are invited to write in for the price for this once-in-a-lifetime piece.
