    The Newberry Collection of Islamic Embroideries

    One of two fragments (see EA1984.114.b) embroidered with a band containing a blue-grey (originally silver) naskhi inscription. The background has small, blue circles that create a stippled effect, as in EA1984.107. A rosette with blue, green, and yellow petals and red outlines is added to the inscription.

    The couching is single thread (blue) and metal thread.
