Tibetan carpet with Sleeping Dragon and Border

Dragon is a symbol of love and fame. The rug is traditionally hand-knotted by highly skilled Tibetan carpet weavers on traditional vertical looms. Woven with 100 knots per square inch, It can take a skilled carpet weaver 2 to 3 months to complete one carpet.

Thunder dragons are benevolent beings. They dominate the oceans and the rain. Usually, they keep in their clutches the Buddhist treasure jewel. This symbolizes that they are flying through the air. The state of flying is underlined on Tibetan carpets by stylized clouds.

With the jewels in his hands, the dragon is also a gifted weather maker. By pressing the jewel he can produce rain. And depending on the pressure that the dragon exerts, the result may vary from a light shower to a large rain storm.

Bringing home carpets with this design bring harmony and fame in the family.
