Catalogue text
Two versions of white quatrefoils, one with split petals, set into pink squares which are defined by a grid pattern of small, linked squares. These have brown outlines against a white ground.
The reverse shows more dye saturation 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)
