Flora and fauna abound in our shawl recalling a large silk panel in The Met collection. Richly embroidered with a profusion of birds, animals, and flowers, it was created in 17th-century China and made for export to the West. The motifs, however, are wholly Asian in subject and style: phoenixes, pheasants, peacocks, and peonies appear with a tiger and an elephant alongside horses, deer, goats, and Chinese mythological beasts.
