Rectangular shawl with gold and navy vertical stripes, a central floral roundel, and red and green floral borders with fringe.

Moon Shawl (Chand-Dar)

A rectangular wool shawl with vertical bands of golden yellow and dark navy, each dotted with small green and white motifs. A central roundel of red, green and white floral pattern sits within the field, and corner and border panels carry matching floral designs, with fringed edges along the top and sides. The weave appears tightly interlocked, consistent with pashmina tapestry work.

Español: Chal Moon (Chand-Dar), textil del periodo mogol

Un chal rectangular de lana con franjas verticales de amarillo dorado y azul marino oscuro, salpicadas de pequeños motivos verdes y blancos. Un medallón central de patrón floral en rojo, verde y blanco ocupa el campo, y las esquinas y bordes llevan diseños florales afines, con flecos en los lados superior y laterales. El tejido parece muy entrelazado, compatible con un trabajo de tapiz en pashmina.
