A vintage East Turkestan Khotan Pictorial carpet. The salmon-rust field displays a horizontally set still life of eight various pots, jars, baskets and vessels, each holding one or more floral branches. Tree paeonies with budding stems ornament the main buff border of this Xinjiang oasis town carpet. The colors are mellow, but the brown outlining of the field motives renders each of them crisp and definite.
