Catalogue text
Two eight-petalled rosettes set into a beaded surround, red against a light background. It is probably a fragment of the border from Cat. no. 327 [EA1990.335]; irregularities in the design are identical to the two rosette roundels in the centre of the border band.
The reverse is more 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)
