Contemporary Tibetan Calligraphy Rugrug no. 10981

Description

An extraordinary, high-concept contemporary Tibetan area rug featuring stylized Chinese calligraphy and red scholar seal stamps (Yinzhang) woven over a camel/gold field. The primary calligraphic text renders Chapter 40 of the Dao De Jing (Tao Te Ching) by Laozi:“反者道之動，弱者道之用。天下萬物生於有，有生於無。”("Reversion is the movement of the Way; gentleness is the function of the Way. All things under Heaven are born of Being, and Being is born of Non-Being.")Hand-knotted in Nepal/Tibet using $100\%$ high-altitude Tibetan wool, the rug showcases a rich palette of golden camel-tan, vermilion red, charcoal black, and a charcoal border accent. The raised calligraphy and seal stamps are carved into the plush pile, creating a tactile 3D relief effect
