This textile demonstrates the longevity of motifs in eastern Central Asia. The placement of animals\u2014a spotted horse, a rabbit, and two deer (or antelope)\u2014at its cardinal points is a compositional device that began to appear in the region during the Han dynasty. The birds on the piece, especially the parrot, entered the Central Asian repertoire during a second period of strong Chinese influence, the Tang dynasty. The floral background's central motif of lotus blossoms, a lotus leaf, and a trefoil leaf was seen in Central Asia and North China but became widespread during the Yuan dynasty.
