Title
English: Fragment Of A Valance (India), 1700–1725
Description
English: Design is incomplete. A shield shape with blue border frames a jar from which springs a flowering vine of naturalistic small flowers. Large, actively curving leaves (possibly fern?) in red, purple, some in blue, several with strong blue stems and exhibiting fine inner decoration. Narrow, spear-shaped leaves project and cross heavy foliage; very fine curving line in brownish-purple outlines the whole design, drawn about 1/4 inch from the pattern. Colors: Two reds, blue, two purples; some yellow appears in narrow lines outlining inner decoration in red leaves, but has disappeared from larger leaves, which are now blue.
