1365 Thar Dragon Rug

The Thar people, nomadic herders native to the Indo-Pak region, traverse between the grazing lands on camels. The GREAT EAST/WEST OUTDOORS collection draws from the tradition of camel shearing within their culture. Specialized barbers originating from the area cut intricate artistic designs on the backs of the steed during the colder months when the hair is longer. The aesthetic tradition celebrating the faithful companions informs the patterns within the Thar capsule by Maharishi.

Maharishi draws inspiration from the history of mapmaking, nomadic cultural practices and continued perennial exploration of the concept of duality, to express the balanced interaction of what can often initially seem like opposing forces.
