Catalogue text
Narrow bands of running vine and leaves. The resist defines the pattern, the background is blue.
Stitched hem. The design does not quite match at the block edge, so that the block length can be identified as 15 cm.In: Barnes, Ruth, Indian Block-Printed Textiles in Egypt: The Newberry Collection in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, 2 vols (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1997)
