Bring the magical colors and enchanting culture of the Himalayas into your home with this wonderful Hand-Knotted Gamdrum Crosses Wool Rug. - Handcrafted by artisans in Tibet
- Tibetans have been weaving rugs for centuries, but these treasures have been only scarcely available to American consumers
- The symbol of the cross has been found in Tibetan art since the 3rd century B.C. in pre-Brahmi inscriptions, temple paintings, and tapestries.
- To Buddhists, the cross is a universal symbol that represents the Tree of Life and the Tree of Nourishment; it is also a symbol of universal, archetypal man, capable of infinite and harmonious expansion
- The cross is the figure of a human at full stretch; also the descent of spirit into matter
- The beautifully orchestrated blue, red, saffron, maroon, black, pink, white, green, and tan color scheme really ties a room together
- Stitched entirely of wool from goats of the Tibetan Plateau, whose coats are considered amongst the finest the world
- This rug is wonderfully soft to the touch, and it's luster will only be enhanced with the passage of time
- Measures 5 feet long x 2 feet 6 inches wide
