Product Description
Bright Shawl and Scarves in Wool Fabric with Tribal Design. The embroidery of Gujarat is remarkable and has its strong features and unique style that makes it distinct. Embroidery is done mainly in the area of Kutch. A princely state set in the northwestern part of India; Kutch has managed admirably to preserve the culture of both its court and nomadic peoples. The special shawls of this region with embroidery are very famous because of their bright look that complements a winter day. The embroidery is never very dense but the colors are combined in such a manner that the brightness of body colors of the shawls are always enhanced. With addition of a little mirror work, the shawls look even prettier. The Rabari tribe of Kutch is an expert in such embroidery. The patterns of any embroidery are first sketched in mud with needles and then a final sketching is done in double running stitch. Embroidery, besides being an art, is an expression of culture for these people. Embroideries communicate self and status, and they create bonds within society. In a marriage, the embroidery that a girl brings with her has a very important part to play in forming an opinion about her father's status. There are various embroidery types used here. The most rich and difficult is the paako stitch. This is a tight square chain and double buttonhole embroidery often with a black slanted stitch outlining. This name Paako, literally means bold. Muko, is the name given to the metal work and mirror embroidery.

Unique Tribal Shawl! April 25, 2008
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
I love this tribal design!! Very unique! The main pattern is wonderful. The mirrors are really eye catching and really add to the design. The colours compliment perfectly and are really flattering. The traditional tribal design on the edges keeps it unique and adds to the versatility of the shawl. Wonderful to keep warm on a cool evening. Very soft, not itchy at all. Perfect around the shoulders or on the arms. I love accessorizing with it in the evenings!
