A vintage East Turkestan Khotan rug. A palmette cruciform centers the two-level ecru stepped lozenge central medallion with its scatter array of tiny rosettes. The mauve-blue subfield, pale blue-grey field and straw yellow corners are stepped and scatter-filled with more flowers and little rosettes. The border of this central Asian oasis town scatter has the Chinese Yun-Tsao Tou (clouds and rain) strongly pattern.
