Pair of Tibetan Dragon Column Carpet Runners

Historically used within Buddhist prayer halls, these long Tibetan carpets were once wrapped around structural columns to adorn and insulate the interior. Intended to be hung on either side of a column, these carpets are designed in complement to one another, so that the decorative elements flow seamlessly around the entire pillar.

Hand-knotted of plush Tibetan wool, this pair of vibrant column carpets is decorated with two sinuous golden dragons against a field of dark blue-black. Auspicious creatures of protection and power, these dragons once swirled around a column as benevolent guardians of the monastery. Meant to be seen from a distance and to animate a space with their spirit, these rugs have a graphic design that looks incredible as an area carpet or wall hanging.
