Antique Eastern Turkestan Pictorial Carpet

Intricately detailed and vibrantly colored, this khotan carpet depicts an elk grazing on a persimmon-covered hillside beside a heron perched in the twisting branches of a grand tree. The tranquil scene is surrounded by an elaborate triple border - a meandering Greek key, a golden trim of the Chinese character "shou," for longevity, and a final frame filled with medallions and bat motifs, symbols of good luck and happiness.
