This textile, which is one of a larger group of textile fragments found in Fustat, Egypt (known as old Cairo), but produced in Gujarat, India serves as evidence of the maritime trade relations between the two areas. This relationship can be traced as far back as the tenth century and extends into the nineteenth century. Fustat's dry and arid climate allowed for the preservation of these textiles unlike the monsoon heavy climate in India which would have caused the deterioration of the design and fabric. Not only does this textile reveal the transregional connectivity of the Indian Ocean, but shows how the use of these brilliant and vibrant mordant dyes and block-printing techniques became hallmarks of Gujarati textile production and led to their demand and popularity across the globe..
