A wool pile of asymmetric knots on a cotton foundation. The divided and scaly rising dragon is adapted from monastic Ningxia pillar carpets, as is the old gold field. The beast ascends through a sky surround of small, knotted clouds. A striped ball is in the top right corner. The wide borders shows a slate and old ivory reciprocal, layered Tee pattern, with ingenious corner solutions. A pillar carpet for the floor. Extremely powerful design. This carpet does not blend in!
