Here we see a very rare Khotan carpet, made during the second half of the 18th century.
The beautiful mid-blue ground contains one single roundel or flower in the centre and surrounded by tiny pink flowers throughout. Very striking is the typical inner and outer Khotan borders - large, powerful arrow-heads warding off evil spirits and protecting the inner Paradise.
A truly magnificent carpet, fit for any museum worldwide!
