Small Size Beautiful Antique East Turkestan Khotan Rug, Origin: East Turkestan, Circa: Early 20th Century – Uncharacteristically vibrant and warm, this cheerful antique Khotan rug features a formal centerpiece surrounded by rustic elements and an animalian repeating pattern. A tremendous stepped lozenge medallion with polychrome highlights and hairline accents dominates the composition of the field.

Warm saffron-colored borders adorned with cryptic figures complete the warm and exquisitely colored composition.
