Tibetan takyeb (pack animal forehead ‘decoration’) featuring a large flower - surrounded by ‘wish-fulfilling’ flaming jewels in the main field - emanating from a vase also filled with flaming jewels. Hand spun wool warp and weft, rich saturated all natural dyes, and woven in the early 1900’s. It is 23.5cm high x 25cm wide (approx. 9.25in x 9.85in) and backed by blue cotton cloth and with the rawhide 'tie-downs' still attached to corners. First time on the market since being bought from a Tibetan refugee in Nepal in the early 1970's, having been in that one collectors hands since then.
