EXP 5' x 2'6" Hand-Knotted Endless Knot Tibetan Wool Area Rug

Bring the enchantment of the magical Himalayas into your home with this magnificent one-of-a-kind area rug hand-knotted by artisans in Tibet. Tibetans have been weaving rugs for centuries, but these treasures have only rarely been available in the West. Traditional Tibetan weaving generally reflects a strong Buddhist influence. This rug features an endless knot border, composed of right-angled, intertwined overlapping lines, symbolizing the Buddha's endless wisdom and compassion. It also has come to symbolize the path to be followed, in daily and seasonal cycles, in life and in death and in rebirth. Beyond all these may exist a cosmology, an ancient understanding of the cycles of time, all safely concealed within the pattern, locked up in numbers and movements. Tibetan rugs have a compelling simplicity enhanced by a broad color spectrum spanning the rainbow. The beautifully orchestrated light brown, taupe, violet, white and black color scheme brings about an aesthetically pleasing effect. Knotted entirely of wool from goats of the Tibetan Plateau, whose coats are considered among the world's finest, the rug is wonderfully soft to the touch, and its luster will only be enhanced with the passage of time.
