Catalogue text
Elaborate chevron design, as in Cat. no. 22 [EA1990.30]. The rows of chevrons possibly alternate between light and dark blue, although the difference is only slight and might be due to deterioration.
Selvedge, some stitching, probably recently done to mend the fragment.In: Barnes, Ruth, Indian Block-Printed Textiles in Egypt: The Newberry Collection in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, 2 vols (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1997)
