About the Item

This exquisite antique Chinese/Tibetan rug features a powerful five-clawed dragon ascending through a vibrant "Imperial Yellow" field. Hand-knotted with high-quality wool, it showcases traditional iconography like clouds, a flaming pearl, and the Lishui wave pattern. Originally meant for wrapping around monastery pillars, it serves beautifully as a unique wall hanging or narrow floor runner. The rich indigo blue dragon contrasts stunningly with the yellow background, framed by decorative tassels and bat motifs for good fortune. This rug measures 2'11" x 9'3".
