43947 Antique Khotan, East Turkestan, circa 1900 - A classic Chinese medallion design repeats down the field of this princely antique Khotan. A large scalloped medallion occupies the center of the field with smaller round one above and below. Meander cornerpieces define a long hexagonal field with stylized openwork shrubs in the intervening blue ground. Successive borders frame the field – an inner vinescroll followed by serial rosettes, and a cloudband main border, with a neutral outer stripe. The reserved precision of the design is matched perfectly by the cool contrasts of gold and blue tones.
