Indian Block-Printed Textiles in Egypt: The Newberry Collection in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford
A band of arches supported by plant columns, and with a stylized plat inside each arch. The design is white with red outlines, and blue provides the background of the arches.
The reverse shows slightly more dye saturation than the surface. In addition to the patterned area there is a wide, red band.
