Catalogue text
Rosette with beaded surround, a band with vine, oval with diamond shape inside; the design is light against a red background.
The textile is very fragmentary, and the patterns can only partly be made out. The reverse shows more dye absorption than the front.In: Barnes, Ruth, Indian Block-Printed Textiles in Egypt: The Newberry Collection in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, 2 vols (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1997)
