Catalogue text
An eight-petalled red rosette set into a circular frame, and a brown square that contains a brownish-red rosette. The background is white.
The fragment is so small that the design can only partly be discerned. The reverse has additional traces of dye.In: Barnes, Ruth, Indian Block-Printed Textiles in Egypt: The Newberry Collection in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, 2 vols (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1997)
