prayer shawl

photo 1/ My son fooling around with the shawl in the background. This is the only picture we have of the shawl before the fire, and the quality of the photo is not good. It does show the overall pattern of the piece, with the central, mostly white square, surrounded by very detailed patterning. Photo 2/ The only intact corner of the shawl. The entire shawl was in this condition prior to the fire. The brightly coloured rectangles of plainer material formed a border at each end of the shawl, but not at the top or bottom. Photo 3/ Detail of shawl remnant. Photo 4/ Detail of shawl remnant. Photo 5/ Detail of reverse (back) of shawl remnant.

Good
