Striking yak wool ‘Wangden-style’ (i.e. warp-faced-back) Tibetan carpet displaying three auspicious yungdrung (swastika) motifs encased within three distinct design squares. It has a very thick natural brown soft yak wool pile and 'frilly' ends and selvages, while the other two field colours, a red and a yellow, are from natural dye. The foundation (warp and weft) are a mix of ‘white’ sheep's wool and darker yak wool. Made in the 1800's / 19th c. in southern Tibet, these thick 'Wangden-style' carpets with auspicious symbols - such as the yungdrung shown here - were used exclusively in Buddhist monasteries for monks to sit or sleep on. It is in very good condition. Please see more info and photos here https://warpandweft.club/portfolio-item/wangdens-item-1/
