Vintage Chinese Tantric Rug
About the Item
Tantric rugs were employed by Vajrayana Buddhists as seats of power during the practice of esoteric rites associated with protective deities.
The peculiar imagery depicted in these rugs symbolise the power of detachment from one's body, representing the ultimate achievement attainable by the advanced practitioners of Buddhist ritual meditation.
Similar weavings were the subject of an exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York entitled 'Rugs and Ritual in Tibetan Buddhism' (October 7, 2010 - June 26, 2011).

- Antique Geometric Design Chinese Rug with Polychrome DiamondsLocated in Milan, ITThere is a group of later Chinese carpets which are characterized by geometric, often abstract patterns that seem inspired by Western sensibilities. What is puzzling however is that most of these weavings have been sourced in recent years in China itself, where they have been used in households ever since they were made. Whatever its origin, the resulting pattern of coloured lozenges has an outstanding three dimensional quality, and can be compared to the most important objects of twentieth century design.Category
