Unique Geometric Wool Rug (2x3.5), "Sixth Sun"
(32)
Appearing in pairs, the sun is an intricate diamond radiating horizontal sunbeams. Mario Chávez depicts the medallions in a hand-loomed accent rug. A traditional Zapotec textile art, this beautiful piece is woven with a woolen palette of red, black and white.
Because each rug is individually woven, measurements could vary +/- 2 inches (5 cm).
