A vintage East Turkestan Khotan carpet. The pale sand field of this central Asian oasis town carpet is centered by three round ‘moon’ medallions enclosing abstract pomegranates and spaciously surrounded by small floating vegetal devices. The borders display tilted swastika frets, rainbow stripes and the Yun-Tsao Tou pattern. Relatively few Khotan carpets were woven in Western room sizes.
