Catalogue text
Small white rosettes and tendrils with sawtooth edges. It is uncertain whether to read the design as white on red or red on white.
There are three large stitches without apparent function. The reverse is less saturated with dye 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)
