Lévi-Strauss suggests that the plain polychrome stiped finish allows this example to be dated to approximately 1840, when European tastes for Kashmir shawls were at an all-time high. The design of this Kashmir shawl resembles two examples published in her book (Monique Lévi-Strauss, Cachemires, Paris, 1986, pp.112-3).
