Fiziksel açıklama
resist dyed, block printed, plain weave, cotton, probably hand woven. White ground with a narrow border along the lower edge. This has a light yellow ground with a green leafy meander enclosing one red, one red and light blue and two red and purple blossoms. The main field has one large round blossom with concentric circles of blue and red either side of a white band with a delicate red and purple pattern. There are green leaves and in the top left hand corner two pod-like leaves in yellow and red segments. The blue pigment and some of the red has formed lines across the ground, as if it had been drizzled during the dyeing process.
