"The Kashmiri Shawl is the story of this textile re-told through the prism of a South Asian perspective. The book realigns the design of symbolism and technical evolution of the shawl to indigenous sources by emphasizing areas previously ignored in earlier histories. The shawl's origins in Kashmir, the rich vein of patronage it thrived on, its changing ornamental face, its regional variations in Persia and Punjab, its enormous impact on the European imagination, all combine to form a narrative shaped to engage both the general reader and the specialist."--BOOK JACKET.
