About the Item

Carpet made of Tibet for the Nepalese market. These carpets with mystical content were made for the Communities of the Nepalese Buddhist temples. These carpets accompany the monks in their daily exercises. In the centre of the carpet, we find the six syllables of the "Mantra" in the Sanscrit language: their pronunciation helps the mind immerse themselves in deep meditation. The edge is decorated with graphic elements that are linked to Buddhist worship.
