What you see pictured is a gorgeous, heavy, intricately detailed, antique silk piano shawl with Chinese figural embroidered designs covering a 1,936 square inch area (44" x 44"). This is bordered by a 4" solid black border. This beautiful work is multi-colored with various shades of bl ue , ora nge , l avender , purple , gray , silver , and yellow , I think I've covered all the colors. It has all types of Chinese figures, which you can see in the pictures. There are two corners opposite each other with a fan design that inside the fan have a t ig er , birds on a tree , what appears to be either a deer or antelope (you decide what you see), what is maybe a waterfall (can't really tell what it is - again you decide from the picture), and flowers. Above each fan design is a large flower. The other two corners have a figural vase with two women on it and flowers coming out the top, a teapot with an elephant on it and handles that appear to possibly be the heads of mice (or kangaroos), birds, flowers, and two 3-legged pots. To the left of the teapot is a 4-tiered pagoda style roof gazebo , and above the pots is a single pagoda style roofed gazebo. Adorned near the center of this shawl are two 4-tiered pagodas heading in the direction of the vase corners. There are different colored bats , birds and flowers throughout the shawl.
