What country is this antique embroidered silk shawl from?

This silk shawl has been in my family for more than 90 years.  It has hand embroidery in a style that I am not familiar with.  It doesn't look Chinese nor Spanish nor Kashmiri.  Can anyone enlighten me as to it's country of origin?  

 

Thank you!

Lovely.  Condition looks excellent.  Is it silk?  Is it a shawl or a cape?  And were you aware that Spanish shawls were produced in  China?  I think yours might be too although not the typically type of embroidery we see.   I say that because the fringe is what one would expect on a Chinese shawl.
