Two stylized flowering trees rise on either side, their generous blossoms rendered in full, radiant bloom. These floral forms—likely inspired by peony or lotus interpretations—evoke prosperity, vitality, and the flourishing of life. At the center, a sacred emblem—suggestive the symbol of longevity or auspicious blessing—anchors the field, quietly asserting protection and good fortune.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eBelow, a mountain-like motif emerges, reminiscent of the “universe” schema: layered hills or jewels rising from the earth, symbolizing stability, abundance, and the sacred landscape of Tibet. The surrounding borders are lively and rhythmic—striped and cloud-like patterns that echo movement, wind, and the energy of travel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThis is not merely a decorative textile—it is a ceremonial skin for the horse, transforming the animal into a bearer of dignity, protection, and symbolic power. Such blankets were used during festivals, journeys, or by individuals of status, where beauty and meaning travelled together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAge: Early 20th century (circa 1900–1930)\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Overall, very well preserved for a utilitarian textile of this type\u003cbr\u003eColours: Cinnabar red-warm rust field\/golden yellow–hues of saffron\/deep indigo-soft sky blue\/celadon-sage green\/soft ivory-cream\/charcoal-muted brown\u003cbr\u003eSize: 143cm x 100cm (56.3in x 39.4in)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pino De Giosa Art Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43755589140545,"sku":"142-02-03","price":0.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0683\/4782\/2145\/files\/tibetan-horse-blanket-auspicious-tree-longevity-motif-front.jpg?v=1775724058","url":"https:\/\/pdg.art\/products\/tibetan-horse-blanket-auspicious-tree-longevity-motif","provider":"Pino De Giosa Art Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
