Intricate borders in an age-old design passed down through generations encircle this shawl. Each stitch is precisely placed to create a symphony of color, design, and craft. The design is placed like in traditional Koundar shawls, where each of the four corners is highlighted with a carefully coordinated motif.
Hand embroidery is a highly skilled profession that is still deeply steeped in the Kashmiri Sufi tradition. Embroidery becomes a form of meditation, a form of focused attention to the meticulous standards imposed by the art, in which every tiny stitch is part of a jewel-like mosaic.
