Catalogue text
Two parallel bands, one with four verions of rosettes, as in Cat. no. 511 [EA1990.518]; the other with rows of dots, partly arranged in clusters to represent ?stylized plants. The pattern is white against a red background, additional brown details are included.
Selvedge; the bands are at a right angle to it. The reverse shows virtually the same precision of outline as 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)
