    Indian Block-Printed Textiles in Egypt: The Newberry Collection in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford

    Part of a rectangle with tabs at the border, four of which remain; the fragment is similar to Cat. no. 182 [EA1990.190], with a large medallion at the centre of the rectangle, although the details of design are different. A border of squares surrounds the rectangle; these are filled with a sequence of quatrefoils, segmented squares, and eight-petalled rosettes. The tabs repeat two different designs: a stylized tree on a stepped base, and diagonally arranged stars with a globe hanging from the top.

    Selvedge and remains of stitching around the tips of the tab shapes.
