Description
ca. 1900, 221 x 106 cm, West China
The beamed ceilings in the halls of Buddhist monasteries were supported by a large number of pillars. These pillars were wrapped in carpets whose motifs carried religious meaning. In the red field of this pillar rug, eight Buddhist symbols are spaciously arranged in three horizontal rows. In the upper row we see two symbols placed at the centre as well as a rat on the left and a stag on the right. The lower finish with the obligatory design of waves, clouds and Mount Meru is wider than usual in this item. Five strings of beads holding a bell are suspended from the upper horizontal border. – Very good condition.
