A wool pile with asymmetric knots on a cotton foundation. The red field of this unusual oasis carpet features two similar echelons of stylized tall vases, pomegranate vases, and pairs of flowers. The main border is in the Turkmen style, with radiating squares and rectangular spacers. It’s not a traditional still life, but it is unmistakably Khotan, albeit quite eccentric.
