An antique East Turkestan Khotan carpet. The royal blue ground of this k’ang format oasis city carpet displays two large, rondels with T-volute fringes vertically flanking a smaller disc with a rosette focus. The field scatters of rosettes and spindly flowers are supplemented by a vase and flowering branches at each end, along with fret corners. Of course, there is a Yun-Tsao Tou border.
