Indian Block-Printed Textiles in Egypt: The Newberry Collection in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford
Several large shapes of uncertain meaning; one is possibly a boteh shape. The patterns have brown outlines, but are otherwise white, light blue, red and yellow on a red background.
The reverse shows less dye saturation than the surface. The fabric could be machine-printed. 19th century.
