Catalogue text
A band of eight-petalled rosettes set into beaded roundels, with a beaded edge, as Cat. nos. 327 and 328 [EA1990.335 and EA1990.336]. The design is defined by the red against a white background.
The print is of better quality than Cat. nos. 327 and 328 [EA1990.335 and EA1990.336], although it uses the same design. The reverse is more saturated with dye than the surface.In: Barnes, Ruth, Indian Block-Printed Textiles in Egypt: The Newberry Collection in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, 2 vols (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1997)
