An art scarf makes a unique gift for her.
A lively silk textile embroidered with animals, birds, and flowers was the inspiration behind this decorative cotton scarf. Although the original piece dates from the late 12th–14th century, it draws on enduring motifs and compositional traditions associated with Eastern Central Asia from the Han, Tang, and Yuan dynasties, including lotus blossoms, parrots, and a four-animal composition—a spotted horse, a rabbit, and two deer (or antelope)—arranged at the textile's cardinal points.
