What make’s Khotans so interesting!
Recently, I have become interested in Khotan rugs. They reflect the political history of the area. You can see the influence of several cultures, among them Chinese, Turkey and Iran.
You might see pomegranates, the East Iranian influence, rosettes giving it a turkish feeling, and finally lattice work, which is typically Chinese. It is amazing when you look at one of these Khotan rugs; it is a fusion of cultures.
