This pictorial rug features a cat and a butterfly surrounded by a pine tree and peony flowers with a stream in the foreground.
There is a Chinese superstition that cats are protectors of silkworms; possibly this is because rats destroy silkworms, but cats keep rats away. Cats are also thought to dispel evil spirits due to their good eyesight in the dark.
The butterfly symbolizes joy, the summer, as well as conjugal happiness.
The evergreen pine tree is a symbol of longevity. From its ability to survive the cold winter, it is also a symbol of steadfastness.
The peony flower represents love and affection; it is also an emblem of feminine beauty and the spring.
