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

    A narrow band of paired leaves alternating with small rosettes, white with brown outlines and some red details on a blue ground. A row of small triangles and dots, brown and red on white ground, separate this band from a second design that shows a large white continuous vine, with brown outlines and some blue details in the attached flower-heads. In addition there is the beginning of a pearl border.

    The reverse shows slightly less dye saturation for red and brown, but additional blue.
