Comments: A nice small shawl, not terribly inspiring design, but OK price. These pieces tend to suffer badly from being washed, not clear if this one has been.
Ask five people and you will get five answers – is it Maltese or Beds Maltese? I’m arguing for English – given the long thing leaves, and meandering rather thin design – despite the obvious Maltese cross. You see pieces like this made very large – parasol covers, triangular shawls, etc. Someone should put the question to rest.
