This unusual light weight mesh cotton tie dye shawl seems most likely to have originated from Rajasthan . It came came with a very fine collection of items from Gujarat NW India and could be older than one might assume. Done in a cotton gauze weave the shawl appears to have had no finishing wash and remains unused. Some traces of stamped silvered gummed patterning as seen in Kutch and Sindhi work.
