Xtra Small: 75 x 46cm approx Small: 90 x60cm approx Medium: 140 x 70cm approx Large: 180 x90cm approx These carpets are made in 100% wool with 100 knots/inch. They are hand-made by Tibetan and Nepali craftsman in Kathmandu, Nepal using a special "Tibetan knot" and take over a month to be created. The tiger is a protector spirit in Himalayan culture. Real skins were used for meditation mats, wrapping sutra boxes, or hung on temple doors to warn off demons. Unfortunately, the tiger's prized pelt let to its demise in the wild during 19th century British Raj. Today, rug weaving has replaced the real skins and remain popular with both local culture and foreign collectors.. Tibetan tiger rugs largely remain a mystery as to their original use, iconography, and tradition. It wasn't until 1979 that they first appeared in the Western world, quickly capturing the attention of rug collectors and scholars. Very few antique rugs have been catalogued with most of them in the hands of museums and private collections. Luckily some did survive and have provided the basis for Tibetan craftsman to revive the making of these beautiful carpets.
