Back
Tibetan seating carpet depicting a single front-facing five clawed dragon, being unusual in that it shows the dragon in profile, as opposed to 'side-on' as is more often the case. The size is 80cm x 73cm (approximately 31.5in x 28.75in), it has cotton warp and wool weft, is a mix of aniline and some natural dyes and was made sometime in the 1920’s. It has several old repairs, in the center at the very top and very bottom of the respective borders, and at the top of the dragons head. Certainly a very Tibetan 'styled' carpet with a roguish playful spirit to the dragon. Please see more Tibetan seating squares here https://warpandweft.club/portfolio-item/khagangmas-shugdens/
