Pulu Floor Mat

Indicative concept price $89.00

A thick pulu floor mat in natural undyed wool, the traditional Tibetan ground covering used from monastery halls to nomad tents.

The pulu floor mat is one of the most fundamental objects in Tibetan daily life. Dense, durable, and naturally insulating, pulu has covered the floors of monastery prayer halls, noble residences, and nomad tents for centuries. This mat uses the same tight weave structure, in natural undyed wool with a subtle stripe. It is soft underfoot, moisture-resistant, and becomes more beautiful with wear.
