Synopsis:
A beautiful book of 30 postcards of Tibetan rugs from the Newark Museum.
Rugs have been integral to Tibetan culture for over a thousand years. Wool from the highland sheep of Tibet is particularly lustrous and ideal for carpet production. Tibetan rugs are remarkable for their strong use of colour and bold imagery. Used throughout the social strata for a wide variety of applications - wall hangings, saddle blankets, furniture covers, curtains etc.- the Tibetan Den (rug) has always reflected its weaver's imagination as well as his or her skill at the loom.
The 30 rugs collected here, in complex, colourful floral, figurative, and geometric motifs, hint at the diversity of Tibetan textile craft, a folkway that still thrives in the Himalaya today. |
