Tibet is set between picturesque mountains and the deep blue sky isolated from much of the world. It is this seclusion of its people that has given rise to its unique culture and traditions particularly of interest are the antique ornaments and rugs fashioned by its people. Made by hand, unlike other rugs found in Asia Tibetan rugs have a one of a kind knot from which they are made.
The particular way in which the Tibetan rugs are made where wool is wrapped around a rod and then piled up is now considered an ancient technique. The designs are exceptionally different as they include every thing from the vast use of colors to the plethora of religious symbols. Distinguished floral patterns inspired by the local vegetation are often seen.
