Couldn't be happier
I could not be happier with this winter weight scarf/shawl - the pattern is beautiful (on both sides), and it's long, soft, and not bulky. I have had a hard time in the past few years finding long winter scarves that are not bulky (I usually only find those 'blanket' scarves that are unwieldy and bunch up by your face), but this one is perfect. Can't wait to wear it!

When I saw these, these struck me not so much as people as representations of a culture and a costume displayed in a beautiful geometric pattern. They were also on sale at the time! I got them, and have them displayed on a jewelry tree I also got from Novica, where they are accompanied by bats from Indonesia and some other work by the same artist depicting a leaf and a flower.
