Featuring a neutral color palette of camel, tan, and dark brown, this Khotan rug from East Turkestan and the western frontier of China reflects influences introduced by nomadic carpet-weaving tribes and imported trade goods from the Silk Road. The carpet field features an interesting grouping of flowers and fruits that lead to two architectural lozenges with stepped edges. From the subdued color palette to the pomegranate motifs and endless knots, this grand rug contains many symbolic elements used in carpets from Khotan and East Turkestan.
