AKSI EMBROIDERED JAMAWAR
It is mostly men who execute the very finest embroidery that is always practiced on pashmina. This is a highly skilled profession that remains even today deeply steeped in the Kashmiri Sufi tradition. Embroidery becomes a form of meditation; of focused attention to the meticulous standards imposed by the art in which every tiny stitch is part of a jewel -like mosaic. The embroidery craft used in this shawl is called Aksi which gets its name from the word Aks, meaning reflection. The design on one side is reflected on the other in a different color. The precision and concentra@on needed to delicately embroider the reverse with different colors without ever letting is go through to the front is absolutely masterful!
Each piece bears the Kashmir Loom Signature in Farsi language, embroidered in the corner. A mark of our quality.
