The composition is further enlivened by the presence of delicate, multicoloured “ribbon” motifs, which weave through the design with a gentle sense of rhythm and ornament.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe drawing is finely articulated, with graceful curvilinear lines that reflect a high level of craftsmanship and an affinity with textile traditions. Framing the composition, the bold yet restrained Greek key border provides a striking contrast, anchoring the more fluid interior with clarity and strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWhile the design belongs to a well-established decorative type, the refinement of the drawing, the unusual chromatic balance, and the confident simplicity of the border all suggest an earlier and more discerning example within this group, likely dating to the late 19th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eReferenced in “Dream Weavers – Textile Art of the Tibetan Plateau, pages 130 \u0026amp; 131, Plate 41\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAge: Late 19th century (1870-1890s)\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very good antique condition, with gentle, age-consistent wear and a beautiful, well-preserved surface.
