Indian Block-Printed Textiles in Egypt: The Newberry Collection in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford
A border of ornate interlace with plants emerging, based on script but here without meaning; this is followed by four lines of dots on either side of a row of four different rosettes, similar to Cat. no. 198 [EA1990.206]. A large floral pattern is partly visible beyond this band.
Selvedge, some light-blue.
