What I find odder is that this resembles no Tibetan art I know of. The Chinese destroyed the local stuff, the exiled Tibetans in Nepal use traditional designs, and I haven't heard of new Tibetan fabrics. Also it doesn't look handknotted at all either in surface or design. Those are the best quality carpets, and if these were they would brag about the number of knots. Really dense ones are quite expensive.

edit: After looking at many carpets, most of which seem plausible in descrption, all so far made in India, here's anither Tibetan one which is very distubing to look at. https://www.wayfair.com/rugs/pdp/brayden-studio-one-of-a-kind-linolakes-hand-knotted-traditional-style-gray-8-x-10-area-rug.-w000482341.html

All the Tibetan ones specify the knot density, 144/inch square, and use silk as well as wool.
