Indian Block-Printed Textiles in Egypt: The Newberry Collection in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford
A band with a dotted, continuous vine and tendrils, as in Cat. no. 525 [EA1990.532]; the pattern is white against a red ground. On either side of the band is a continuous pattern of separate, stylized tendrils or hook shapes, white against a brown background.
The reverse shows more dye saturation than the surface.
