THIS SCARF PHOTOGRAPHED IS THE ACTUAL PIECE YOU WILL RECIEVE. THERE MAY BE TINY INCONSISTENCIES IN THE SHAWL, BUT THIS IS THE CHARM OF A HANDWOVEN TEXTILE FROM A RURAL VILLAGE. THIS SCARF IS A TRUE SCARLET RED. SOME OF THE PHOTOS LOOK PINKY, BUT IT IS DEFINITLY RED. ALSO, IN A COUPLE OF THE CLOSEUP PHOTOS THE BLACK LOOKS BLUEISH. IT IS DEFINITLY RED SILK BROCADED WITH BLACK SILK THREADS OVER THE TOP. THE SCARF HAS A LUSTERIOUS SHEEN IN THE SILK THAT THE PHOTOGRAPHY DOESN'T SHOW WELL ENOUGH. YOU WILL DEFINITLY BE THRILLED WITH YOUR SILK AS IT IS MUCH MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN THE PHOTO DEPICTS.
THIS TEXTILE IS A HAND CRAFTED WORK OF ART, LUXURIOUS AND CONTEMPORY. SCARLET RED, GREEN, GOLD AND BLACK SILK THREADS WITH A HAND KNOTTED FRINGE MAKE THIS PIECE SHIMMER. IT CAN BE USED AS A SCARF, SHAWL, HEAD DRESS, TABLE RUNNER, WALL HANGING OR A BED THROW, DUE TO ITS LARGE SIZE.
NO TWO LAOS SILKS ARE THE SAME. EACH ONE IS DIFFERENT IN COLOUR COMBINATIONS AND DESIGNS VARY. THE WORK IS VERY TIME CONSUMING AND INTRICATE. A SCARF OF THIS SIZE TAKES SEVERAL WEEKS TO COMPLETE WEAVING. IF YOU WOULD LIKE A PARTICUALR COLOUR PLEASE EMAIL ME WITH YOUR REQUEST AND I WILL DO MY BEST FOR YOU.
