About the Item

Tsukdruk rugs are possibly the most representative examples of the Tibetan nomadic weaving tradition. Woven with lanolin-rich highland wool, these come in narrow strips constructed on backstrap looms, and are part of the material culture of the nomads inhabiting the high pastures of the Himalayan mountains. Patterns are typically simple, either completely open fields with beautiful colour gradations or, more rarely, embellished with designs which are representative of the Tibetan iconography. Here the four panels are decorated by various gradations of sky blue. The fascinating nuances obtained from the indigo plant create a minimalist composition of magical beauty, contributing in making tsuktruk rugs, such as this timeless example, among the most desirable weavings among all of the Tibetan rug typologies.
