Back
Two toned Tibetan khaden that uses a repeating ‘gau box’ (or amulet) motif as the design, with a mild abrash through both the orange and tan colours and which, given the predominate orange colour, was almost certainly made for / used by an ecclesiastical person. Made circa 1900 / the early 1900’s, it has all natural dyes, a fine wool pile, a hand-spun wool weft and unusually, a warp that is predominately very dark brown / black hand-spun wool and white cotton plied together. The size is 156cm x 83cm (approximately 61in x 32in), there are no repairs or reweaves, the pile is basically full and the warp ends have been folded over and secured. It is in very good condition.
