About the Item

Woven in the age of the third Qing Emperor Yongzheng (1722-35), this exquisitely designed mat was part of the long runners commissioned for the Tibetan Buddhist temples, intended as communal meditation mats for the monks living in the monastery. The subtle polychromy of soft tones of cream and yellow is punctuated with touches of royal Chinese blue, a palette that is a distinguishing feature of this brief Empire.
