A vintage East Turkestan Khotan Pictorial rug. The slightly abrashed borderless rust field displays a variety of birds, including a mythical phoenix, cranes, peacocks, finches and other garden species, perching on or taking flight from a grey, horizontally tiered rock formation below. A flowering tree at the right spreads a protective trunk over the flock along the top of this charmingly unusual eastern Turkestan oasis city scatter rug.
