CIRCA: 1920
A two-toned indigo dyed Tibetan seating carpet – or shugden – with light blue coloured central motifs over a darker blue background. The outer border consist of assorted esoteric symbols while the center field has what appears to be a crane with open wings (or a peacock?) in the center roundel and luck bestowing bats in the four corners. It was made circa 1920 with natural dyes, is very tightly woven with good pile and subtle abrash, has a cotton warp and wool and hair weft and is backed by a blue cotton cloth. It is in very good condition.
