I have this exact scarf, and I don't think it is painted. It appears to be screened on top of the other colors though, and it may have been screen printed on top of an opaque white or a different ink to give an extra dimension to the silk design. I doubt that all scarves that were issued for this would have lbeen hand painted. I hope this helps. this design is by one of H's youngest artist:
Translated: “Heavenly Fires”

Literature: 2000 scarfbook
“Once, there were two gods watching over us. The first – the god of Lehreh – inhabited the skies of western Sudan, from where he sent down in timely fashion those life-giving rainstorms which gain such respect. The second, called Bail, in the same part of the heavens, scattered gold with both hands to sow the thick velvet of the night with stars. Each strove against each, for the happiness of all. It happened long ago, far back in the lands, where our races began; we return there in our dreams incessantly, towed by the stars. “[/QUOTE
The painted feeling stuff is called blanc matte if I am not mistaken. I didn't realize that it was on this specific scarf, but it is on quite a few others. It is often gold or silver and has that slightly stiff feel. Alas, they don't use it as frequently as they on e did. It adds a fun extra dimension, doesn't it?

This was great, I feel almost as if I have been there myself! Loved seeing all the things played out!!
Truly, your photos make my day. The fox staring at you is hilarious!! I usually end up making that face at the elephant toes on Beloved India!
Love seeing all of the Neige - esp in colors that I can't wear! Another lovely from Croisette!!
Wearing my new mousseline pochette REGINA this morning
Bova, you and I really need to meet up sometime and play with knots. We'll both be dressed in black and I bet we would laugh ourselves silly. Plus you have some tricks I need to master, like that twisty thing you do when making a simple wrap. Resolution for 2017!!
HAHA! I am laughing out loud. H loves those big animal eyes!! And how about that guy with the whip in the first picture?
Glad you brought this out. I also have a hard time with the muted CWs, but this looks great on you! Especially with the white blouse, your lipstick color, and the LV. The colors look lovely.
Awesome, Croisette! Very pretty on grey, which is one of my favorite background colors.
Very nice! I don't have any small moussies yet, but I do have the 90 silk of Regina in navy. I love the design. You look very sweet today! Happy New Year, dear friend!
This is indeed my first small moussie, following our lovely bunnycat. Thank you for your sweet comment and a
HAPPY, HEALTHY and SUCCESSFUL NEW YEAR from both of us to you my dear J!
I'm in momasaurus...a very good resolution indeed!
Not in an English garden, but here's my burst of bright colours to welcome 2017. May it be a great year for all!
