A superb handwoven lightweight silk brocade shawl or stole in gorgeous electric royal blue, woven through with old gold gilt thread.
The shawl has a large central dragon motif and has dragons at either end.
Dating from the 19th century the stole was handloomed and is a traditional textile from China.
It also has a complicated cloud pattern woven into the silk which because of the nature of the weaving leaves open spaces between the the more solid blue silk.
