Fiziksel açıklama
Printed cotton resist-dyed, block printed, plain weave and hand-woven. Pale yellow ground with oval shaped floral sprays based on the boteh. Off-set rows with all the motifs facing in the same direction. Five rows with the top of the sixth row along the lower edge. Two or three motifs, complete or partial, per row. Each motif has a central white flower with a yellow and pale red centre and at the top of each motif is a semi-circular pale red flower with yellow spots. Lines of stitch holes and well creased edges suggest this fragment was once used as part of the lining or backing on a quilted garment or cover.
