Bring the enchantment of the magical Himalayas into your home with this magnificent one-of-a-kind area rug hand-knotted by Worldstock artisans in Tibet. Local Tibetans have been weaving rugs for centuries, but these treasures have been only scarcely available to American consumers. With Worldstock's team busy in Asia, we are pleased to offer you this fine rug from the far reaches of the Tibetan Plateau. - Traditional Tibetan weavings generally reflect the influence of the Buddhist religion on Tibetan culture and art.
- The lotus flower is one of Buddhism's best recognized motifs since every important deity is associated in some manner with the lotus, either being seated upon it or holding one in their hands.
- Lotus pattern of growth signifies the progress of the soul from the primeval mud of materialism, through the waters of experience, and into the bright sunshine of enlightenment.
- Endless knot border, which is a closed, graphic ornament composed of right-angled, intertwined lines.
- Border overlaps without a beginning or an end, symbolizing the Buddha's endless wisdom and compassion.
- Beautifully orchestrated fuchsia, navy blue, saffron, and white color scheme brings about an aesthetically pleasing effect.
- Stitched entirely of wool from goats of the Tibetan Plateau, whose coats are considered amongst the finest the world, the rug is wonderfully soft to the touch, and it's luster will only be enhanced with the passage of time.
Slight variation in the color, design and size in each piece is normal in handmade rugs. Due to the difference of monitor colors, some rug colors may vary slightly. Overstock.com tries to represent all rug colors accurately. Please refer to the text above for a description of the colors shown.
