Catalogue text
Two parallel bands with a continuous vine scroll, black on very pale pink. The tendrils and leaves have stepped outlines, in imitation of embroidery.
The reverse shows less dye saturation than the surface. As with the previous fragments, the fabric is of uncertain origin, but not Indian.In: Barnes, Ruth, Indian Block-Printed Textiles in Egypt: The Newberry Collection in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, 2 vols (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1997)
