Indian Block-Printed Textiles in Egypt: The Newberry Collection in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford
Two parallel bands; the one near the selvedge has a row of circles with dots which are linked to a line of continuous curves. The pattern is white against a brown ground. The second band has crossed tendrils, white against a red ground.
Selvedge. The reverse shows less dye saturation than the surface.
