Red tendrils on a dark blue ground, and a single white flower with brown outlines of petals and a red centre.
The reverse is so heavily saturated with blue that it is not possible to see how the red was applied.In: Barnes, Ruth, Indian Block-Printed Textiles in Egypt: The Newberry Collection in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, 2 vols (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1997)
