A white band with a blue and white continuous vine; on either side of it is a white band with red dots. In addition there is a single row of red and white dots on blue, and the beginning of a second blue band at right angles.
Selvedge. For the red, the reverse shows as much dye saturation as the surface, but there is additional blue.In: Barnes, Ruth, Indian Block-Printed Textiles in Egypt: The Newberry Collection in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, 2 vols (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1997)
