A very wide Assiut  Egyptian  cotton mesh shawl that we have over dyed in a sumptuous  celadon green.  The woven geometric design is unusually heavy and intricate.

Tulle-bi-telli, also known as Assuit or 'Assiut was all the rage during the course of when Orientalism was a popular fashion , especially flappers during the Art Deco period . 

The shawl has some early repairs.
