Fiziksel açıklama
resist printed, block printed, plain weave cotton, probably hand woven. Cream ground with a series of stripes each separated from the other by a narrow mauve chevron stripe outlined in black. From the left: [a] a tall floral vertical spray seemingly continuous with black stems carrying green leaves and blossoms or buds in blue and red. [b] isolated floral motifs in at least five variations set diagonally. [c] a floral spray in at least two variations, each with two dangling flowering branches in green, red, blue, purple and mauve. [d] incomplete; a single floral black stem meander carrying green leaves and red blossoms and buds. Some misprinting.
