Dancers in indigo, teal, sky blue, rose and saffron move across a natural cream ground. Little huts sit among them, a grey pyramid glows with rays of orange and gold, and confetti-like flecks of colour drift through the scene. A bold border of black squares and scalloped edges frames it all, finished with a twisted black and cream edge and hand-knotted tassels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIt was woven by Samat Tejsi, a master Kharad weaver from the Kutch in Gujarat. Kharad weaving is one of India’s rarest textile traditions, and Samat’s family is one of only two in the world who still practise it. Each figure is picked out by hand on the loom, so no two Kharad rugs are ever quite the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWoven from natural wool in a flat-weave, it is lovely underfoot and just as good hung on the wall as a piece of folk art. It would suit a hallway, a bedroom, a boot room or a kitchen. It also works beside a sofa or a desk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e98cm x 164cm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Samarkand Design","offers":[{"title":"Cream","offer_id":59109164253565,"sku":"RU2602","price":282.61,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0264\/0927\/1350\/files\/Handwoven_Kharad_Rug_Tribal_Festival_Story_Whole.jpg?v=1794574606","url":"https:\/\/samarkanddesign.com\/en-ch\/products\/handwoven-kharad-wool-rug-tribal-festival-story","provider":"Samarkand Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
