Men's Pure Pashmina Hand-Painted Kalamkari Shawl with Sozni Needlework
All-Over Hand-Painted Kalamkari Buta · Hand Embroidered Sozni Needlework · Floral Border
A generous men's shawl in pure pashmina, in ivory. The entire field is covered in a repeating all-over pattern of hand-painted Kalamkari buta medallions in blue, rust, olive and mauve, each outlined and detailed with fine Sozni needlework in white thread. Both long edges carry a matching floral vine border in the same palette. A rare pairing of two distinct Kashmiri hand crafts — painting and needlework — worked together across the full length of a single pure pashmina shawl.

Hand-Painted Kalamkari with Sozni Needlework
Colour
Ivory & Multicolour
Region
Kashmir
Kalamkari hand-painting uses a fine pen (kalam) to draw and fill repeating motifs freehand across the fabric, a slow and exacting process when done at this scale and density. Layering Sozni needlework over the painted outlines — picking out fine white contour stitching on each motif — adds a textural, hand-worked finish that only comes from combining two separate craft traditions on one piece.
