Chinese
Rug with Eight Horses, This is an unusual rug from Mongolia.
The theme of this rug is taken from an old Chinese story about
eight horses that go west in search of their mothers. The
appearance of eight objects is said to be a very lucky occurance.
Each horse is depicted differently in both design and body
position. The yellow colour indicates that this rug was made
for a noble family. The border is a modified flyflot pattern
that has unique symmetry side to side and end to end. Cotton
warp and weft, asymmetrical woolen knots. All vegetable dyed.
