Seven Sisters Wool Rug by Andrea Adamson Tiger
|
Bring your home to life with this stunning hand-made rug by Better World Arts’ artist Andrea Adamson Tiger. Made through a cross-cultural collaboration, the rug combines Andrea’s design with traditional Kashmiri rug-making techniques. It is entirely hand-made, from the hand-dyed wool to the intricate chain stitching and can be used as a cosy floor piece or an eye catching wall hanging. This beautiful, colourful rug represents the story of seven sisters who were chased throughout the desert by Wati Nyiru, shaping the landscape as they fled. The sisters created a rock hole which went underground and lead to the other side of a hill. The women dove into the water before flying up into the sky where Wati Nyiru followed them. Wati Nyiru can be seen today to the south of the seven sisters (pleiades) as he continues to chase them across the night sky.
