Unique Geometric Wool Area Rug (2x3), "Burning Arrows"
(32)
Arrows streak across fields of glowing yellow as Mario Chávez weaves bold images in fiery colors. Surrounded by red stars, sunbursts inhabit the central field of this radiant design. The rug – named "Arpones" in Spanish – is hand-woven of virgin wool in Mexico's Zapotec tradition.
Because each rug is individually woven, measurements could vary +/- 1 inch (3 cm).
