    The Newberry Collection of Islamic Embroideries

    A row of small red, linked crenellations, each crowned by a trefoil and containing a blue inscription (?); diagonally placed to it is a red inscription and arabesque, as in EA1984.214, and a row of linked blue diamonds.

    A run-and-fell seam divides the fragment. The similarity in design, colour, stitch and fabric structure indicates that this fragment was once part of EA1984.214, as was EA1984.218.
