Long revered across Central Asia, the pomegranate carries connotations of fertility, abundance, and regeneration, its many seeds symbolising prosperity and the continuity of life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese fruit forms are set within a dense and exuberant field of floral rosettes and stylised blossoms, creating a richly decorative surface that balances symbolic intent with visual pleasure. The composition unfolds without rigid symmetry, yet maintains a cohesive rhythm, suggesting a workshop tradition where design conventions were confidently adapted and reinterpreted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA particularly noteworthy feature lies in the subtle chromatic modulation of the wool. The weaver has employed two differently dyed yarns, plied together within individual knots, producing a softly mottled or abrash-like effect. This technique lends the surface a gentle vibrancy, allowing colours to shift and shimmer with light, and adding depth to what might otherwise be a flat decorative field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuch a method is more commonly associated with later workshop production, where technical experimentation and aesthetic refinement were more deliberately pursued, as opposed to the more straightforward palette application of earlier village weavings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eReferenced from \"Dream Weavers - Textile Art of the Tibetan Plateau, Pages 72 \u0026amp; 73, Plate 12.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAge: Late 19th to early 20th century\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very well preserved overall, with even wear consistent with age and no structural issues or repairs\u003cbr\u003eWarp: Z 2 S ivory wool + brown with white plied\u003cbr\u003eWeft: 1 shed ivory wool\u003cbr\u003eKnots: 3 ply yarn, wool\u003cbr\u003e8h x 5v: 40 kpsi\u003cbr\u003eColours (6): Cinnabar red — coral tones \/ warm terracotta — russet \/ soft apricot — peach \/ ivory — cream \/ celadon — turquoise accents \/ touches of muted sage — blue-green\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 92 cm x 169 cm (36.2 in x 66.5 in)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pino De Giosa Art Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43242689986625,"sku":"17-04-02","price":0.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0683\/4782\/2145\/files\/hand-knotted-tibetan-khaden-rug-autumn-garden-botanicals-front.jpg?v=1767771179","url":"https:\/\/pdg.art\/products\/hand-knotted-tibetan-khaden-rug-autumn-garden-botanicals","provider":"Pino De Giosa Art Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
