Very fine, Ningxia Buddhist wall carpet, from a Tibetan monastery, circa late Qing Dynasty. Constructed with a supple cotton warp and weft- the pile is very smooth (like silk). The design consists of Manchu writing at the top, Buddhist and Taoist auspicious symbols underneath with waves symbolizing the cosmic ocean at the very bottom. Clean, no stains or holes. The ends are stabilized with a more recent hem stitch, there appears to be one half centimeter missing at the ends. L: 169cm/66in, W: 106cm/41in.
