Terra incognita – Tulpar

DESCRIPTION

This beautiful modern wool and leather rug is inspired by the winged horse Tulpar, an animal from the mythology of the nomadic peoples of Central Asia, which was often depicted atop the Yurta, the traditional circular tent of those areas. The carpet is composed of a series of interlocking, feather-like discs, while the side ropes recall the traditional harnesses and ornaments worn by Asian horses. A fascinating artefact, suggesting a dynamic lifestyle open to change.
