Catalogue text
There are traces of circles filled with tendrils or interlacing, as well as one circle made up from two fish.
The design can only be made out from the stitch marks, as the silk has virtually disappeared.In: Barnes, Ruth and Marianne Ellis, ‘The Newberry Collection of Islamic Embroideries’, 4 vols, 2001, Oxford, Ashmolean Museum
