Rare and Unusual Antique Khotan Kilim Rug

About the Item

A rare and unusual flat woven cover from the Khotan oasis in eastern Turkestan, distinguished by a honeycomb arrangement of octagons containing polychrome stepped lozenges with hooked extensions. We see similar patterns in the early pile rugs of this region, especially in conjunction with the stylised Greek fret border.
