Is this an antique shawl?

I purchased this awhile back and saw a note I left on it that said India Pashmina. It measures about 2' x 5' so would it be a shawl? Can anyone tell me how old it might be and if it is a shawl and anything else about it? Thanks in advance for all replies. (sorry for all the images, just thought you may need them to evaluate)

 

It does not look like true Pashmina to me but I'm no expert.
You can try a "ring" test. Push a corner of the shawl through a ring (like a wedding ring). You should then be able to easily pull the entire shawl through the ring.
Also, try a burn test, which will help determine natural fibers vs synthetic.
True (and often valuable) pashmina is a cashmere that comes from the undercoat of a particular breed of goat. However, nowadays, the word is often used for any cashmere, cashmere/silk, or even acrylic scarf of a certain look.
Wikipedia: 'Both generic cashmere and pashmina come from the same goat, but generic cashmere ranges from 12 to 21 microns in diameter, whereas pashmina refers only to those fibres that range from 12 to 16 microns.'

I see paisley-design "pashmina" shawls in my local thrifts often, labeled in ways to deceive. Buyer beware! From Wikipedia:
'A craze for pashmina shawls, known as shamina in Kashmir, in the mid-1990s resulted in high demand for the raw material, so demand exceeded supply. When these shawls rose into fashion prominence during the era, they were marketed dubiously. In the consumer markets, pashmina shawls have been redefined as a shawl/wrap with cashmere and cashmere/silk, notwithstanding the actual meaning of pashmina. Some shawls marketed as pashmina shawls contain (sheep) wool,[18] while other unscrupulous companies marketed artificial fabrics such as viscose and others as "pashmina" with deceptive marketing statements such as "authentic viscose pashmina".'
Sooooo... your scarf may be pashmina but not Pashmina, if you know what I mean!

 

Wow, thanks bluumz for all the helpful information! Yes, I know what you mean. Many thanks!
