Tibetan Tsukdruk Rug
About the Item
Rugs woven in this particular type of cut-loop technique follow a tradition which dates to the earliest forms of pile weaving. Each of the four panels is woven individually and are then are hand-stitched together. The handle of tsukdruk rugs is extremely supple, indicating that they were not used as floor coverings but as blankets or covers of some sort. The field of these rugs is typically monochrome, as this scheme lends itself to this specific weaving technique. Here we see the indigo background embellished by various motifs we often encounter on flat-woven nambu textiles, which are used as garments of prestige by Tibetan women.
