The dark slate field displays a characteristic Xinjiang oasis town design of three “Moon” medallions, two large, one smaller, with pomegranate trees and lesser floral and geometric secondary elements. Stripped beige corners with fret patterns. Narrow borders show floating rosettes, diagonal fret fragments and the Yun-tsao Tou (“clouds and rain”) repeat.  Slight reduction at one end, otherwise good. Medium urban weave on cotton.
