About the Item
An exquisitely elegant early Temple runner from the Ningxia region in northwest China, commissioned in the early 18th century for a Buddhist monastery in Tibet. The pattern is composed of seven squares, each of which was to be used as a meditation mat for Tibetan monks. Each square is decorated by a cloud collar roundel typical of the Ming period, which in turn influenced the iconography of the Kangxi (1662-1722) period as well as that of the successive 18th century dynasties.
In unrestored condition, it displays a wonderful orchestration of a highly refined palette, reminiscent of that of ceramics of the same period. It truly is the perfect accent for a room that can benefit from its very narrow format and that is willing to accomodate an ancient weaving of immense elegance.
