A myriad of green tonalities evoke spring meadows in the Sierra Madre mountains. Woven by hand, this diminutive rug displays the intricate geometric motifs of traditional Zapotec art. Alfredo Ruiz weaves the extraordinary rug by hand of virgin wool. Titled "Diamante de mis sueños" in Spanish.
Because each rug is individually woven, measurements could vary +/- 2 inches (5 cm) (2 in).

Very pleased with the craftsmanship and vivid colors of this rug. The heavy weight weaving was exactly what I was looking for. I would rate the quality of this rug among the best I have purchased over the years while in Mexico. Thank you Alfredo.
