Please use the photographs of the actual book alongside this grading description to assess its individual condition. ] [ ABOUT THE BOOK ] The Tiger Rugs of Tibet Book by Mimi Lipton, Cyril Barrett | Edited by Mimi Lipton, this book presents 108 Tibetan Tiger Rugs, illustrated in full colour. Once owned only by the Tibetan élite, the rugs were used for sitting on and for covering luggage during long journeys. They are rare, with possibly fewer than two hundred in existence, and their history and use remain shrouded in mystery. The book documents the diversity and creativity of their designs, described as both modern and distinctive. | Four texts consider different aspects of the rugs and the collection. Philip Goldman discusses its socio-cultural relevance; Cyril Barrett analyses the visual qualities of the designs; Jim and Barbara Ford examine the collection's place in carpet art; and Tom Phillips recounts his discovery of Tiger Rugs. The book focuses on this little-explored aspect of Tibetan arts and crafts, and is intended for readers interested in Tibetan culture and Buddhism, as well as carpet and textile specialists, artists and designers.
