In 1930, a few cotton fragments were retrieved from Al Fustat - harbor of Old Cairo ,dating from the 11th to the 14th century AD. These fragments are the earliest known printed textiles. The simple patterns printed with small sized blocks, resist dyed in indigo and madder, bear a striking similarity to ajrak.This particular design in the image has resemblance to the fragments retrieved from Cairo and is known as 'Gurda kaleji 'in local language of ajrakh craftsmen .I recreated an artwork using this block in my 'Salt March' series
