The figure rendered in bold red and cream tones, exhibits a stylized anatomical form, simultaneously evoking a sense of vulnerability and vitality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003eThe skeletal motif, commonly associated with mortality and transformation, here conveys a narrative that is both celebratory and contemplative. Flanking the central figure are a series of repeating ornamental motifs: alternating between fierce, mask-like visages and more abstract, floral-inspired designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003eThese symmetrical patterns suggest ritualistic or ceremonial significance, grounding the piece in a visual language that merges folkloric symbolism with contemporary interpretation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003eThe earthy colour tones present in this rug further reinforce themes of connection to the natural world and the cycles of life and death. The rhythmic arrangement of motifs and the central placement of the human form create a dynamic yet harmonious composition, inviting reflection on impermanence, resilience, and cultural memory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCondition: In very good conditions considering the age with no major repair\u003cbr\u003eDate: First part of the 1900s \u003cbr\u003eWarp: Cotton\u003cbr\u003eWeft: Hand spun wool from the Tibetan Plateau \u003cbr\u003eColours: Off-white beige\/hues of cream-camel\/light- medium red\/dark-brown-deep indigo\/maroon\u003cbr\u003eDimension: 85cm x 150cm (33.5in x 59in)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pino De Giosa Art Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43217672831041,"sku":"29-04-03","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-skeleton-mask-totems-front.jpg?v=1766912451","url":"https:\/\/pdg.art\/products\/hand-knotted-tibetan-khaden-rug-skeleton-mask-totems","provider":"Pino De Giosa Art Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
