Fine draughtsmanship, careful attention to the geometric form and the elegant black base makes it a fine example of the kani shawls. The ubiquitous boteh is conspicuous by its absence. Deviating from the traditional motif with an eye on international market, the weaver tries a more contemporary pattern here. Flowers are almost completely absent and the design theme is dominated by a juxtaposition of almost pure geometric forms. It is reminiscent of the simple, straight and linear forms of Mughal architecture. Translated on the shawl, it become s a masterpiece. Using different shades of saffron on black, the weaver gives a proof of his fine aesthetic sense. The border on all four sides consists of a clean and discernable geometric design. Nothing about this shawl is complex, in terms of pattern, theme and colour. All about it is elegant, in terms of look, feel and beauty.
This piece of beauty will compliment a formal black outfit and surely light up the spirit of the party!
