Museum Provenance
Similar Indian shawls reside in our Natural History Museum’s Asian ethnological collection.
Every Smithsonian purchase will arrive with a museum provenance card explaining how it is adapted from or inspired by an object or objects in our collection.
This shawl is beautiful and the colors are vibrant. My only problem is that I have another shawl of the same quality with the same colors. The description led me to beleive that one side of this shawl was a solid color,which is the reason that I purchased it. Both sides of this shawl has the same colors and the pattern is so similar that it should not be call reversable. The only reason that I'm keeping it is because it is soo beautiful. This item would make a great gift for someone who love beautiful things!

Comments about Reversible Crouching Tiger Shawl:
I received this and really fell in love with it. It's great for a dressier look or casually with jeans. I can see myself using this a lot in the future. Even if I wear a coat in the winter and am going to be inside for quite some time, I love having shawls to wear inside either at home or at a gathering. The only downside is that it has to be dry cleaned.

I love the size and quality. It is exactly what a Kashmiri shawl should be. I use shawls to highlight my outfit; dressing is not complete without one.

Comments about Reversible Crouching Tiger Shawl:
I use shawls at work, on planes, or on trips to add a layer of warmth. This does the trick - warm and soft. Blues and greeens are heavy hitters in my wardrobe and these goes well with all my blues and greens.
I particularly like the 80" or longer sizes and this was a great length - you can warp it easily around your neck and shoulders with the extra fabric draping down your back so it doesn't slip open if worn alone; if worn under a coat it helps hold it in place. I really like it under a rain coat - adds the extra warmth if the rain turns cooler than you expect.

Comments about Reversible Crouching Tiger Shawl:
This shawl is gorgeous. Both sides are equally beautiful, and yet very different, which effectively makes this two shawls. It's warm enough as a head wrap and scarf for fridgid Canadian winters, yet can serve as an elegant wrap to spark up simple clothes at work, or create drama for evening wear. Very versatile, very practical.
