Beaded Shawl.

One of the members of the Embroiderers Guild was at the talk about embroidered peacocks that I presented a few months ago.  She came up to me today  and gave me this stunning beaded shawl.  She inherited it from a well-travelled friend, and although she doesn't know where her friend got it, I am guessing it might be from India.  Here are some photos - one of the full length, and one closer up.
