Catalogue text
Continuous floral design, showing grey leaves, carnation, and round flower-heads.
Very coarse fibre irregularly spun. The reverse shows no dye saturation. The comment on the original card dates the fragment to between 1350 and the early 15th century. This is probably incorrect.In: Barnes, Ruth, Indian Block-Printed Textiles in Egypt: The Newberry Collection in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, 2 vols (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1997)
