Description

The Apatani Shawl is a visually striking Geographical Indication (GI) textile that brings the rich heritage of the Ziro Valley to life. As shown in the Apatani Shawl.jpg reference, a deep black base acts as a dramatic canvas for vibrant, earthy orange vertical bands and intricate geometric motifs. These central bands feature rhythmic nested diamonds and hexagonal lozenges woven tightly in contrasting white, black, and orange. Subtle, cooling blue vertical stripes and a meticulously gathered, multi-colored fringe complete this bold, authentic piece.
