This Tibetan 'butterfly' shaped makden, or under-saddle carpet, features a rare depiction of tigers in place of the snow-lions sometimes seen in the same configuration (on makdens), while sinuous dragons encircle the border. It is from the early part of the 1900’s, has cotton warp and wool weft, is edged in felt covered with red nambu cloth, and is backed by a grey cotton cloth. The size is 111cm wide across the bottom and 67cm high through center (approximately 44in x 26in). It is in excellent condition with good age and an uncommon portrayal of a tiger for this type of carpet.
