Zapotec wool rug, 'Earth' (2.5x5.5)

Arresting zigzag designs nestled in rust hues embellish this wool rug by the Ruiz Bazan Family. The wool used is obtained from local farmers and tinted with naturally extracted dyes, resulting in harmonious color variations. Elaborated by hand on a loom, this piece reveals weaving techniques dating back to pre-Hispanic times. Fusing tradition with style, the woven artwork is a stunning example of Zapotec artistry. Because each piece is individual created, colors and size may vary slightly.
