This was used as an antique mirror work embroidered shawl from India. This technique, also known as "Shisha work," involves stitching small mirrors to fabric with thread. It is said to have originated in Persia and spread through Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, India, and Indonesia, a route known as the "Silk Road of Mirrors." Mirrors symbolize water and the sun, and among desert-dwelling peoples, they were believed to reflect and absorb evil, making them popular for clothing as talismans and to ward off the evil eye. India is home to various ethnic groups skilled in embroidery, many of whom incorporated mirror work, creating unique designs. Embroidered with silk thread on cotton fabric, the embroidery has a beautiful sheen. As it is antique, there are numerous stains and fading. Besides being used as a tapestry, I believe it can also be used as a table runner, sofa cover, or room divider. It would also be wonderful for those who enjoy handmade items to use for remakes. ○ Size Length: Approximately 191 cm Width: Approximately 90 cm Please note that these are amateur measurements and may have slight errors. ○ This fabric was collected as a hobby.
