Description:
A vintage Jamawar shawl crafted using traditional weaving techniques. Historically, the Kaani technique was used, which was later replaced by the Jacquard method on handlooms during the mid-20th century for faster production.
This piece is believed to belong to the Sikh regime period, identifiable by its distinctive central black silk motif, which has been attached separately to the embroidered base after weaving — a characteristic feature of that era.
The shawl is finished with silk tassels, neatly tied with knots at both ends, and features classic paisley-inspired designs. Overall, the condition is good, with minor signs of age such as small insect-related holes, adding to its vintage authenticity.
