Catalogue text
Six-petalled carnations set closely, as Cat. no. 274 [EA1990.283]. The flowers are red, the background light.
The fragment probably was part of the same piece of fabric as the previous textile [EA1990.283]. The reverse is not fully saturated with dye.In: Barnes, Ruth, Indian Block-Printed Textiles in Egypt: The Newberry Collection in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, 2 vols (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1997)
