As an enduring metaphor for the ephemeral nature of life, cherry blossoms are richly symbolic. The extreme beauty of the transient blossoms is a reminder to cherish life to the fullest. In this piece, the coppery-gold Tibetan wool background is offset with a punch of color in pomegranate Chinese silk. This piece has been crafted by hand in their true 100-knot quality. All of New Moon's hand-knotted rugs are made exclusively in Nepal and are fully customizable by size, color, shape, and material. Many styles are in stock and ready to ship.
