Indian Block-Printed Textiles in Egypt: The Newberry Collection in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford
Large, stylized trees, some flowering, some filled with dots, similar to Cat. no. 349 [EA1990.356]. The design is white against a red background.
It is not possible to distinguish between surface and reverse, as the precision of design and dye saturation is equal on both sides.
