{"product_id":"horse-blanket-tibetan-rug-turkmen-erre-gol","title":"Tibetan Horse Blanket | Turkmen Erre Gol","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eA striking expression of Tibetan textile artistry, this horse blanket unfolds through a disciplined lattice of repeating diamond forms—an ordered geometry softened by the quiet irregularities of the human hand. Stylised floral motifs emerge within each lozenge, with rhythmic clarity, their cross-like articulation echoing both botanical abstraction and the ornamental language of brocade traditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe composition reveals a subtle dialogue between structure and vitality. The dark, almost inky ground acts as a unifying field, allowing the motifs to radiate outward in warm, mineral tones, each hue breathing life into the grid without disturbing its balance. Small connecting elements, like scattered embers, animate the intersections, reinforcing the sense of continuity across the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eFramed by a bold geometric border, the design carries a protective and enclosing presence, consistent with the symbolic role such textiles played in Tibetan material culture. While conceived for practical use—adorning and protecting the horse—this piece transcends its function, embodying a refined aesthetic sensibility where order, symbolism, and beauty converge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWoven in resilient, lanolin-rich Himalayan wool, the blanket possesses a supple handle and a soft, enduring sheen. Its surface, gently mellowed by time, retains a remarkable clarity of design and colour, offering a vivid glimpse into a tradition where even utilitarian objects were imbued with quiet elegance and artistic intention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eReferenced from \"Dream Weavers - Textile Art of the Tibetan Plateau, Pages 180 \u0026amp; 181, Plate 66\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAge: Early 20th century (1910-1930)\u003cbr\u003eCondition: A very well-preserved example, especially considering its equestrian use, retaining its structural integrity—well above average for comparable horse blankets.\u003cbr\u003eWarp: Z 2 S ivory + gray wool\u003cbr\u003eWeft: 2 sheds gray brown wool\u003cbr\u003eKnots: 5 ply yarn, wool\u003cbr\u003e8h x 4v= 32kpsi\u003cbr\u003eColors (9): dk. blue\/lt. blue\/ivory\/red\/lt. orange (faded)\/purple (faded)\/burnt sienna (slightly faded)\/khaki tan\/lt. red\u003cbr\u003eSize: 138cm x 87cm (54.3in x 34.2in)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pino De Giosa Art Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42971333296193,"sku":"147-02-04","price":0.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0683\/4782\/2145\/files\/tibetan-rug-horse-blanket-turkmen-erre-gol-front.jpg?v=1766808656","url":"https:\/\/pdg.art\/products\/horse-blanket-tibetan-rug-turkmen-erre-gol","provider":"Pino De Giosa Art Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
