介绍（中）	这件碎片制作于13世纪或14世纪，模仿了中世纪古吉拉特邦西部高度普及的纺织品生产在技术和装饰上的显著特征。这些平纹、雕版印刷的棉质纺织品被视为一种全球商品，以其轻盈的面料和透气性而闻名，并在印度洋沿岸红海附近地区以及东南亚马六甲海岸地区成为备受追捧的贸易商品。这种纺织品是在埃及福斯塔特附近发现的，由于该地气候干旱，可以保存其染料和纤维大胆的卷须设计将小奖章和六角叶子联系在一起，让人想起了古吉拉特邦Jain绘画手稿和建筑装饰程序中的设计。鲜艳的红色来自印度桑树，这是一种有机材料，通常用于古吉拉特邦省的染色实践，最终证明该地是这些鲜艳染色纺织品的非常受欢迎的生产商和加工商。这一片段展示了中世纪古吉拉特邦和埃及之间通过红海连接的密切海上贸易和交流关系。
介绍（英）	Made in either the thirteenth or fourteenth century, this fragment emulates notable characteristics in technique and ornamentation of the highly popularized textile production of Western India, in the province of Gujarat, during the Middle Ages. Seen as a global commodity, these plain-woven, block-printed, cotton textiles, were known for their lightweight fabric and breathability and became highly sought-after trading goods across the Indian Ocean in areas neighboring the Red Sea, as well as places along the coast of Malacca in Southeast Asia. This textile was found near Fustat, Egypt, which allowed for the preservation of its dye and fiber due to the site’s arid and dry climate. The bold tendril design which links small medallions and six-pointed leaves recall designs found in the decorative programs of Jain painted manuscripts and architecture produced in Gujarat. The vibrant red color comes from the Indian mulberry plant, an organic material, which was commonly used in the dye practices associated to the province of Gujarat and ultimately attests to the site as a highly popular producer and processor of these vibrantly dyed textiles. This fragment demonstrates the close maritime relationship of trade and exchange between Gujarat and Egypt linked by the Red Sea during medieval times.
