Table Runner (pazyryk-no-uma)

The design of this brocade is modeled after the design of the extant world oldest carpet, considered to have made in the 5th century to the 4th century, B.C., excavated in the permafrost of the Pazyryk burials in the East Altai Mountains, East-Central Asia. In the original design, the horse wears matting instead of saddling, and the knight wears thin pants, boots, and Persian-look headgear. The flower design enclosed by a square pattern is considered to have imitated the Assyrian pattern depicting pinecones and lotus flowers. We have woven this valuable design of the original, certifyingt hat there had been a trade between the Far East and the Near East in the ancient civilization, into warp-patterned brocade in our exquisite weaving technique and idea.
