A lovely decorative Khotan rug with a repeating pomegranate design, in near perfect condition with full pile and little or no wear.

The pomegranate perhaps the best known of the Khotan weaver's repertoire. Though Khotanese weavers were known for producing designs influenced by traditions of the surrouding regions (including China, Afghanistan, India and further afield) a few designs, including the pomegranate, are uniquely associated with Khotan and remained popular, particularly with local clients. This is a lively and pleasing version.

Wool pile, cotton warp foundation.
