19th Century Kashmiri Pashmina Shawl Mens Shawl – The Boteh Heritage

This remarkable 19th-century Pashmina wool shawl from Kashmir exemplifies the artistry of that golden era. The design features numerous borders surrounding a magnificent central medallion, adorned with the classic boteh or paisley motif — a timeless pattern that symbolizes life and eternity in Persian and Kashmiri textile art.

Origin and Craftsmanship

Hand-woven from the finest Pashmina wool in the Kashmir Valley, this shawl embodies mastery and precision achieved through the traditional kani weaving technique. Multiple artisans often worked simultaneously on a single piece, using hundreds of color-coded wooden bobbins to create intricate motifs. A single shawl could take months or even years to complete.

Design and Symbolism

The boteh, also known as the buta, originated in ancient Persia, representing a sprouting bud or flame — a symbol of fertility, unity, and infinity. By the 18th and 19th centuries, Kashmir artisans evolved it into complex interwoven forms, establishing the boteh as an enduring emblem of Indian artistry. Each woven motif reflects a dialogue between Persian inspiration and Kashmiri ingenuity.
