    Indian Block-Printed Textiles in Egypt: The Newberry Collection in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford

    Three parallel bands; the central one with a rosette surrounded by leaves and tendrils, white against red, and on either side a band with separate tendrils and small rosettes, white against a brown ground. At right angles to these bands there is another one identical to the two which are white against a brown ground, as well as the fragment of a further band.

    A selvedge is parallel to the three bands described above. The reverse shows slightly less dye saturation than the surface.
