This
is a Tibetan temple runner with a very old and highly religious
series of symbols. The outer medallions are modified mandala
(a Tibetan religious implement). The very unusual inner medallions
form discs filled with lotus flower designs. The single center
medallion is a "shou", which is the symbol for long
life. The corner designs are highly geometric and come from
designs found on ancient Chinese bronze vessels. The border
consists of a very old and special cloud design that is rarely
seen. Wool warp and weft, asymmetrical tibetan woollen knots.
All vegetable dyed. There are two small skillful repairs on
it.
