For centuries, tiger rugs in this format were used in Tibetan \u003cstrong\u003emonasteries and palaces\u003c\/strong\u003e as seats for high lamas during meditation, as covers for ceremonial columns, and as honour places for rulers and teachers. The tiger itself symbolises power, protective strength and spiritual vigilance — the embodiment of the awakened mind in Vajrayana Buddhism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece is hand-knotted in the workshops of Kathmandu, Nepal, by experienced artisans in the \u003cstrong\u003eTibetan knotting tradition\u003c\/strong\u003e. We deliberately source \u003cstrong\u003ehand-spun yarn from highland women in small villages\u003c\/strong\u003e who still master the older spinning techniques — a practice that has all but disappeared from the wider Nepalese rug industry. The slight irregularity in yarn thickness produced by hand-spinning gives the wool its characteristic depth, while the silk content lends the surface a luminous sheen that shifts with the light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe material is a \u003cstrong\u003e50\/50 blend of finest highland wool and pure silk\u003c\/strong\u003e. The wool gives body, resilience and a soft, plush hand; the silk gives lustre and a living play of light across the surface.
