A two-page illustrated feature from China Pictorial showing archaeological finds from Sinkiang (Xinjiang), China. Photographs with captions show Han, Sui, Northern Liang and Tang textiles from Astana (Turfan County) and the Niya site (Minfeng County), including brocades, a brocade robe, a tapestry belt, embroidery, painted gauze and batik-dyed cotton, along with a Neolithic painted jar and silk paintings. The short text introduces the region, the Silk Road and the preservation of relics, and notes that cotton was first grown in Sinkiang.
