Khotan

The innermost of the trio of Silk Road cities (with Kashgar and Yarkand), Khotan weaves carpets mostly in the 6’ x 12’ size with recognizable Chinese iconography, but with central Asian elements and in brighter colors with distinct wool and handle. Later examples use synthetic dyes which have been treated to mellow the colors. Although this later period is not collectible, it is much in demand decoratively. A few smaller rugs and chair seat (2’ square) are also encountered.
