Narrow black and ivory silk shawl. The shawl is primarily black but has a wide band of ivory across both ends. There are also three ivory squares toward both ends that run parallel to the ivory band. All four edges and around both the band and squares there is a chain-like black stitching that leaves tiny holes all in a row. The shawl is not reversible.
