this seems to be a piece of cloth
here's the passage:
"Mrs. Thondup, from an aristocratic Tibetan family, was sitting out with her daughters Pem Pem and Doma in jewel-colored bakus and pale silk blouses woven subtly with the eight propitious Buddhist signs."

can you please explain what type of cloth it is, and if so, can you also provide a link for a possible image? thank you
