Diamond Pattern Hand Woven Zapotec Rug (2.5x5) from Mexico, "Valley Fire"

This jewel-toned area rug will liven up any space in your home. Juan Contreras hand weaves it on a traditional Zapotec loom using wool to create a geometric diamond pattern in taupe and deep red.

Juan proudly continues with the art of weaving that he learned from his parents as a young man. He is involved in every step of the process — from shearing the sheep to dyeing the wool and weaving it into original designs.
