介绍（中）	可追溯到十三世纪或十四世纪，这件平纹、雕版印刷的棉纺织碎片曾经是一件更大的作品的一部分。这一片段展示了中世纪印度西部古吉拉特邦省纺织业的独特技术和装饰特点。该片段的优雅设计通过使用一个单独的块印刷而成，在深蓝色单色背景上形成复杂的缠绕卷须和花卉图案。装饰程序和图案在风格上与古吉拉特邦制作的耆那教建筑和绘画手稿中发现的图案相联系。蓝色染料的活力来自于印度西部，当时印度是一个深受欢迎的染色和印花纺织品生产中心。几个世纪以来，国际上对这种织物的需求量很大这些纺织品发现于埃及福斯塔特遗址附近，由于该地区干旱干燥的气候，这些纺织品被保存了下来。这一片段证明了这两个地区之间的红海海上贸易和旅行关系，并突出了它们在中世纪的跨区域和跨文化联系。
介绍（英）	Dated to either the thirteenth or fourteenth century, this plain-woven, block-printed, cotton textile fragment was once part of a much larger piece. This fragment exhibits the unique characteristics of technique and decoration associated with textile production in Western India, in the province of Gujarat, during the Middle Ages. The fragment’s elegant designs are printed through the use a single block which form intricate intertwining tendrils and floral designs on a dark blue monochrome background. The decorative program and motifs are stylistically connected to those found in Jain architecture and painted manuscripts which were produced in Gujarat. The vibrancy of the blue dye points to Western India, which at the time was a popular production center for richly dyed and block-printed textiles. Throughout the centuries, there was an international demand for such fabrics. Found near the site of Fustat, Egypt, these textiles have been preserved largely due to the arid and dry climate of the region. This fragment serves as evidence of the Red Sea maritime trade and travel relations between both these areas and highlights their transregional and cross-cultural connections during medieval times.
