Textile fragment with large leaves and flowering trees. The painted design combines indigo and mordant dyeing to create a textile that is red, blue, and white: the overall evidence shows that fabrics were first mordant-dyed to obtain reds and then dyed in indigo to achieve blue. This fragment’s carbon-14 date places it between the mid-fifteenth and the early seventeenth centuries, but since the same pattern appears on large textiles traded to maritime Southeast Asia as early as the fourteenth century, an early date within the range is likely.
