DESIGN HISTORY
Zenobia, Queen of Palmyra from 266 to 272 CE, was a woman of tremendous character, often described as bold, ‘virile’, highly cultivated, and astonishingly beautiful, the inspiration for a host of artists and writers. After the death of her husband Odaenathus, their young son became king in name only. Zenobia seized power, taking the title Augusta or ‘Illustrious Queen’, and leading her troops on a vast campaign of conquest. Syria, Egypt and part of Asia Minor fell under her rule, until the Roman Emperor Aurelius took fright, sacked the city of Palmyra and dispatched Zenobia and her son to Rome. Located on the Silk Road, Palmyra was an important cultural centre in the Antique world. Textiles, jewellery, caskets, furniture and sculpture arrived there from Greece, Egypt, Persia and China. Her treasure remained in Rome after her death, and is depicted with great delicacy and precision in this scarf by Annie Faivre.
Thank you both! Great to be twings with you TankerToad - looks lovely on you!
(And thanks for the "like"s.)
It's a nice place, esp. in summer!My friends and I are planning a trip to Bozen.
Wow! That is so interesting. I love to know the story or history behind things. I think I saw a pic of you wearing one. If you don't mind me asking, what is the design? I haven't seen one fully open. Thank you so much for posting this for me! I love your incredible collection!
I think you might have mistaken me as someone else. I actually do not own this particular design. Our wonderful @Croisette7 has a few of this design.
You can see more of this design here.
My goodness! I am so sorry! I was in a hurry to get to an appointment & guess I saw her name in the other post & hurriedly posted it.
I so appreciate all your help & input on this. 
Hi,I have been on an Hermes cashmere shawl hiatus for a bit so I have been really loving going through this thread & catching up on all of your gorgeous finds. Since I have been out of the loop I am not up on what's new or from previous seasons. I did see one that I LOVE & am needing some info on it. It's called ZENOBIE, REINE DE PALMYRE. Thank you so much for your help. I would love to see any pics you might have of this beauty.
This shawl is from fall winter 2016. I bought mine in Jan 2017 after my SA did a worldwide search. I have the pastel colourway.

You do color so well!!! And neutrals [emoji3] my wallet is lighter due to some of your neutrals shots...
I wish a Parures du samurai came in these colors. They are so pretty.
Thank you, doloresmia. I'm glad I could inspire you with neutrals.
Maybe they do the PdS 1,40 summer silks in these colours, who knows?
