Catalogue text
Large white leaves with red outlines are filled with red and faintly grey details; the leaves are set against a background of red and white stripes.
The fragment is not characteristic of the Indian textiles. The reverse shows very little dye saturation.In: Barnes, Ruth, Indian Block-Printed Textiles in Egypt: The Newberry Collection in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, 2 vols (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1997)
