Shaphee Lanphee is a traditional textile fabric, usually a shawl, which has embroidered motifs with cotton threads. The shawls are made by the Meitei women of Manipur. In the past, the king presented this fabric as a gift to soldiers to honour them for their bravery in a successful war. Praiseworthy chiefs of Manipur also received such shawls.
