Catalogue text
Large stylized trees, some flowering, some filled with dots, as in Cat. no. 350 [EA1990.357]. The pattern is white against a red background.
It is difficult to determine the method of dye application, as the outlines of surface and reverse are equally precise.In: Barnes, Ruth, Indian Block-Printed Textiles in Egypt: The Newberry Collection in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, 2 vols (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1997)
