Geometric Wool Area Rug (2x3), "Desert Diamond"
Radiant desert colors center this handloomed rug with a dazzling diamond. With stripes and fretwork along each end, the motifs express centuries of Zapotec tradition. Gregorio Ruiz weaves the piece by hand from soft virgin wool.
Because each rug is individually woven on handlooms, measurements could vary +/- 2 inches (5 cm).

"GREAT WALL HANGING"
I bought this to hang on my brick fireplace . I framed it with a cherry wood frame and between the colors in the rug and the frame, it created a stunning display piece. The weaving is good quality.

"Rug works well in our bedroom."
Beautiful colors and pattern. Fringe is also a nice touch, though a tad uncomfortable when you step on it barefoot. But still glad I purchased this lovely rug! Great craftmanship.
