The medallion—large, rounded, and intricately drawn—evokes the classical Khotan aesthetic, where Chinese-inspired roundels merge with Central Asian textile traditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eSurrounding the principal medallion, a series of smaller floral rosettes and secondary medallions are rhythmically arranged, creating a sense of ordered repetition that guides the eye along the elongated field. These motifs, often associated with pomegranate blossoms or stylised lotus forms, reflect a deep connection to both fertility symbolism and the enduring influence of silk brocade design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe borders are particularly elaborate, composed of multiple guard stripes framing a main border rich in geometric and floral ornament. The interplay between angular fretwork and softer curvilinear elements suggests a dialogue between structure and ornament—typical of East Turkestan weaving at its most refined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe overall composition conveys a sense of abundance and balance, where every element is carefully placed yet retains a subtle spontaneity in drawing—revealing the hand of the weaver behind the design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAge: Late 19th to early 20th century (circa 1880–1920)\u003cbr\u003eCondition: No structural issues or repairs, very well preserved for its age\u003cbr\u003eColours (5): Cinnabar red \/ soft apricot — terracotta \/ ivory — parchment \/ sage — muted green \/ indigo — inky blue\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 140 cm × 260 cm (55.1 in × 102.4 in)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pino De Giosa Art Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43759561375809,"sku":"154-02-04","price":0.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0683\/4782\/2145\/files\/east-turkestan-khaden-rug-khotan-roundel-medallions-front.jpg?v=1780129729","url":"https:\/\/pdg.art\/products\/east-turkestan-khaden-rug-khotan-roundel-medallions","provider":"Pino De Giosa Art Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
