Chunnis - are very fine chiffon shawls from the Punjab, traditionally worn to cover the head and shoulders. Each one has a different design which is beautifully hand embroidered with metallic thread. This example was made c. 1970. Chunnis are now very difficult to find, there are contemporary examples, but the workmanship is not comparable. The detail photos show the colours better, as being chiffon, when stretched out the colour appears less intense.
