About the Item
This unique Tibetan rug with a dragon design measures 133 × 62 cm and stands out for both its symbolic richness and distinctive shape. Shaped in an hourglass or saddle form, it likely served a ceremonial or practical purpose, such as a seat or saddle covering for monks or nobility. The rug’s design is centered around two stylized dragon faces—one at each end—set against a warm terracotta ground. These powerful guardian motifs, symbolic of protection and strength in Tibetan culture, are complemented by a central medallion and ornate floral scroll-work. The deep navy blue border, adorned with a series of stylized flame or lotus motifs, adds depth and visual rhythm to the composition. A bold outer frame in vibrant red provides contrast and definition, enhancing the rug’s visual presence. Crafted from hand-knotted wool, the rug reflects the skilled artistry of Tibetan weavers and carries strong spiritual and cultural meaning. Ideal for collectors, meditative spaces, or as a striking decorative accent, this Tibetan dragon rug is not only a rare find but also a representation of the profound spiritual iconography that defines Himalayan woven art.
