Agra

An ivory field is covered edge to edge with a small repeating boteh motif, each one rendered in soft coral, sage green, and slate blue, arranged in tidy offset rows. The corners are cut by a diagonal spandrel treatment in golden tan that echoes the border tone. A wide camel-colored border carries a scrolling floral vine, framed by several narrow guard stripes in cream, blue, and rose.

Indian

An ivory field opens onto an elongated medallion built of scrolling olive-green tendrils and palmettes that repeat down the vertical axis, interspersed with small sprays of coral, salmon, and sage blossoms. Cusped corner spandrels in matching green scrollwork frame the field, while a broad blush-pink border carries an undulating floral vine, flanked by narrower ivory guard stripes patterned with small stepped diamonds. The overall palette stays soft and muted, with color concentrated in the botanical details against the pale ground.

Agra

An ivory field is organized in two columns of interlocking split-palmette medallions in pale blue-green, joined by dark, almost black vinework and small red and navy blossoms. Diamond-shaped floral cartouches sit at the medallion centers, and the whole pattern repeats with near-mirror symmetry down the length of the field. The border stack is wide and layered: a dark chocolate band of small florets, a cream stripe with sprigged flowers, and an outer ivory guard, framed by narrow red and dark accent stripes.

Agra

A deep red field is covered edge to edge with a dense repeat of small palmettes and floral sprays in ivory, blue, and green, interrupted only by scalloped ivory spandrels at each corner containing curling leaf forms. The wide ivory border carries a running vine of serrated leaves and blossoms in red and rust, framed by narrower guard stripes in matching tones. The overall symmetry is broken slightly at the lower left corner, where the spandrel motif sits a touch off-register from its counterparts.

Indian

A rust-red field carries a symmetrical arrangement of medallions in navy, deep red, mustard, and pale blue, with a central pole medallion flanked by paired diamond-form medallions above and below, all set among dense scrolling vinework and small palmettes. The main border, dark blue, repeats a rhythmic sequence of angular blossoms and leaf forms in cream, rust, and gold, framed by narrower guard stripes of similar palette. Colors throughout are warm and varied, with the reddish ground offset by cool blues and scattered ivory highlights.

Khotan

An open sand-colored field is scattered with small, evenly spaced pink floral rosettes arranged in loose rows across its length. The field is framed by multiple narrow guard stripes and a wider fret-patterned border in muted olive and rust tones, with a secondary meander band in dark brown just inside it. The overall palette stays soft and tonal, with the pink blossoms providing the only strong accent against the neutral ground.

Khotan

An ivory field is arranged in three vertically stacked medallions, each a large pale gold roundel filled with distinct devices — the outer two bearing angular pomegranate-like brackets, the center one filled with rosette flowerheads. Small corner brackets, scattered floral sprigs, and dotted rosettes fill the surrounding ground in muted tan and brown. The wide border carries a cloudband-and-scroll meander in soft gold and cream, framed by a narrower guard stripe of stepped key-fret ornament.

Khotan

An open ivory field carries three large pomegranate-shaped medallions stacked vertically, each filled with a lattice of interlocking star motifs rendered in soft tan against pale ground. Small rosette forms punctuate the spaces between the medallions, and a stylized pendant device tops the uppermost figure. The border is built of stacked guard stripes, including a meander band and a row of diagonal latch-hook devices in a warm gold-brown, framing the composition on all sides.

Khotan

A dark brown-black field carries three medallions arranged along the central axis, each a pale roundel enclosing a small geometric emblem, the largest at center flanked by pairs of small blue birds. Between the medallions, scattered ivory rosettes, sprigs, and star-form blossoms fill the ground, bordered by a meander of angular fret key-pattern in soft rust. The wide outer border on tan ground carries a running scrolled cloud-band motif in blue and brown, framed by narrower guard stripes of small floral diaper and further fretwork.
