Indian Block-Printed Textiles in Egypt: The Newberry Collection in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford
Fragment of a tab with a continuous vine as a surround, squares in the lower corners, and a flowering plant inside the main field, as in Cat. no. 164 [EA1990.172]. The tab is sewn on to a ?border with a narrow band of continuous scroll and the beginning of a plant design. The resist defines the design, the background is blue.
The two fragments are sewn together with a flat seam. There is some stitching around the outline of the tab.
