Elizabeth Zimmermann mystery shawl

This is from Knitter's #58, Spring 2000, "Remembering Elizabeth". What I'd like to know is if anyone recognizes this shawl. Does it appear in any of her books or pamphlets? Any idea about it's shape - rectangular or curved? I seek any info you might have on it's structure.

If I had to guess about materials, I would assume we are looking at a double strand of Shetland jumper weight yarn in a garter structure. Somewhere around a #4 or 5 needles perhaps. She was diminutive so I could be wrong about the gauge.
