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

    A blue band with two paired leaves alternating with two different quatrefoils; the outlines are brown, the individual designs are white and red. On either side of the band is a narrow, white border with a row of blue and red stepped diamonds. At right angles to the band is the beginning of five narrow bands, all with red patterns on white or pale blue ground. The patterns are too fragmentary to analyse.

    The reverse shows less dye saturation than the surface.
