Fiziksel açıklama
resist dyed, block printed, plain weave, cotton, probably machine woven, glazed. Light yellow ground with a white edge. In the centre is a small blue flower from which radiate 8 spear-like floral stems, green with red flowers. Beyond these are 8 lobed ogival compartments, each with a white ground and an inward facing three-stemmed sprig with red flowers. There is a decorative leaf and flower motif around the outer edge between each ogee. Blue pigment has drizzled across the ground during the dyeing process.
