Long narrow gray silk shawl with white stripes on both ends and white silk fringe on both ends. The primary color is a silver gray and is slightly sheer. On both ends there is a wide white silk stripe and on either side of the stripe are three more bands that are made up of multiple narrow stripes. The fringe is frayed silk from the weave of the body of the shawl and is now matted and tangled in bunches.
