Manju Devi's abstract Aas Pass rug is inspired by rural village life in India
Artisan weaver Manju Devi hand-tied more than 200,000 knots to create this colourful one-off rug for the Jaipur Rug Foundation, which helps communities in rural India to preserve their traditional skills.
Each of the rugs in the foundation's Artisan Originals collection is informed by aspects of its creator's life. Devi's rug, which is named Aas Pass, features abstract patterns and colours based on her surroundings in the village of Dhanota in Rajasthan, India. Informed by the local practice of covering floors and walls with intricate patterns in cow dung, the design required 222,184 individually hand-tied knots.
