Add an air of the exotic to a sofa or bed with this dazzling 16-by-16-inch Taj Mahal pillow from Edie Roberts. Beaded and embroidered by hand, no two are exactly alike. The solid back and the front ground are comprised of a purple silk-blend dupioni, the weave of which shows irregular slubbing with a pleasing texture and soft lustre. A large dark red fabric panel is inset on the front, woven with intricate metallic gold thread and sparkling with multihued beads. Dangling diagonally from each corner is a fringe of gold-beaded spangles.
A truly invisible zipper (except for the pull tab, which is the identical shade of purple as the fabric) allows the cover to be removed from the fiberfill insert. Other Taj Mahal bedroom accessories, such as a duvet cover and shams, creatively combine similar colors and designs to form a major wow factor.
