Khampa Caravan Pastel Oversized Tibetan Area Rugs Size:10x14 leather covered chest is decoratedThis rug is made up of pale primary colors against a background of pastel. The center is made up of diagonal, pastel squares that are decorated with a cross motif, borrowed from Eastern Tibets textile tradition. The diagonally placed squares and crosses are repeated in the border. This rug recalls the open road of Tibets Tea and Horse Caravans and the subtlety of color and complexity of design capture much of what is most admired in fine Tibetan Rugs.
