Description
|
|
|
|
Weaving has been integral to Tibetan culture for over a thousand years, and the wool rugs they produce are renowned throughout the world for their strong colors and bold imagery. The 30 rugs pictured here feature complex, colorful floral designs, figures, and geometric motifs. This postcard book is one of a series that collects beautifully reproduced images with cultural or historical significance, introduced with a short essay. Tear out the oversized (4 3/4 by 6 1/2 inches) cards and mail them with first class postage, or put them up on the wall—or keep them intact as miniature art books.
