CHINESE SADDLE RUG

The indigo blue rug consists of two separately woven pieces sewn together in the center. Either half is decorated with auspicious motifs, the deer (longevity), the phoenix (prosperity) and the butterfly (love), all of which are framed by an abstract pattern. The irregularity of the dye is typical of natural vegetable dye.
