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

    Band printed diagonally, at an angle to the selvedge, of four different ornate rosettes which are repeated, two as quatrefoils, and two eight-petalled. The rosettes are set into a vine, represented by dots, and four rows of dots are on either side. Towards the selvedge is a continuous design of six-petalled rosettes made up from dots, and with a dot at the centre; on the other side of the band is a similar field, but with large, twelve-petalled rosettes with a dot at the centre. Blue background.

    One of the rosettes has light blue petals. There are remains of stitching. Some overlapping of pattern defines the block used for the band as measuring 18 cm. x 9.5 cm.
