<p>[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 3543028, member: 8267"]These textiles are usually called piano shawls. You can find many examples on ebay using that as a search term. Most are dated to the mid 20th century. I am not sure where they were made - perhaps China. Many do feature images of the Taj Mahal, but I do not think that is what is portrayed on yours. Images of the Taj Mahal usually feature the distinctive dome. Yours shows what may be a generic middle eastern gateway.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
