Rare and Early Khotan Rug with Two Niches
About the Item
I don’t know of any other East Turkestan rug with only two niches, displayed here in a sort of yin yang. The outstanding palette, consisting of three shades of red, blue and green, is used with the mastery of an experienced weaver, imparting a translucency similar to Medieval glass mosaics. All my fellow hunters will agree that early east Turkestan weavings are among the hardest one to find. This certainly belongs to the pinnacle of this rare family of rugs.
This piece is featured in our current web exhibition entitled 'Hunting and Gathering: China, Tibet & East Turkestan'.
