A number of designs used within the Tarim Basin were introduced from foreign climes such as this Indian inspired quatre-lobed lattice filled with a variety of triple-stemmed flowering plants whose origins lie in earlier seventeenth century Mughal lattice court carpets. For a closely related Khotan rug, with a slightly more curvaceous lattice, see H. Bidder, Carpets from Eastern Turkestan, Tübingen, 1964, p.81, pl.XIX.
