Vintage Tibetan Tiger-Shaped Rug in Bright Orange with Black, Red Blue Accents

This vintage Tibetan rug is a striking and meaningful piece, featuring a bold medallion design set against a deep black field, beautifully framed by a pale green border and a delicate narrow lattice band. The rug is richly detailed with accents in blue, ivory, pink, and orange, creating a vivid yet harmonious palette that brings depth and dimension to its classic composition. At each end of the rug, you’ll find the ancient swastika symbol, a revered emblem in both Buddhism and Hinduism. In Hindu tradition, the swastika represents the four cardinal directions. Facing right, it signifies the evolution of the universe; facing left, the involution of the universe. Universally considered a sacred and auspicious symbol, it is used in religious and cultural decoration across many traditions throughout Asia. This rug is not only visually stunning but also spiritually rich, making it a perfect addition to a tribal, Asian, or bohemian collection. Its excellent condition and symbolic depth make it a true collector’s item, equally suitable as a floor covering or as a tapestry-style wall hanging.
