Catalogue text
Red, twelve-petalled rosettes with a dot in the centre, and set into squares formed by linked circles and lobed leaf shapes, similar to Cat. no. 467 [EA1990.474]. The circle-and-leaf shapes are defined through brown outlines; the background to the pattern is white.
Selvedge. The reverse shows less dye saturation than the surface.In: Barnes, Ruth, Indian Block-Printed Textiles in Egypt: The Newberry Collection in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, 2 vols (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1997)
