Chinese Tibetan Love Knot Reversible Blanket

A knot with no end, dotted onto a field of dark cloth.

This Tibetan love knot reversible blanket is made in China in cashmere and wool. The endless knot is one of the eight auspicious symbols of Tibetan Buddhism, and it often appears on textiles. The ground is a deep brown-black with a lighter dotted outline. The knot is stitched in a fine dotted line of thread, working as a pattern of interlocking squares across the center. The cloth is soft, with a dense, slightly brushed surface.

About seventy-one by sixty inches. Warm in every sense, and it drapes with some ceremony.
