Pao Tao Tiger Rug
late 19th century, 179 x 96 cm, North East China, Inner Mongolia
A figural pictorial rug in portrait format. A tiger drawn to perspective stands in a blue meadow, facing the viewer. His head lowered, his back arched and his tail raised high, the tiger is ready to pounce – an awe-inspiring image. Mountains and a few small trees are seen in the background, and a red sun appears between clouds in the deep blue sky on the right.
Condition
Some stains, otherwise in good condition.
