Indian Block-Printed Textiles in Egypt: The Newberry Collection in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford
Band of eight-petalled rosettes, blue against a white surround, stylized leaves, and diamond shape with stepped sides and a small blue cross at the centre. The design is similar to Cat. no. 146 [EA1990.154]. In general, the pattern is defined by the resist against ablue background, but the rosette and diamond are exceptions.
Some remains of white stitching.
