Mexican artisan Mario Chavez creates this beautiful cushion cover the same way it has been done in his home state of Oaxaca for centuries. Wool yarns are dyed with pigments made from local materials before being woven on a traditional loom. The brightly-colored cushion cover features Zapotec arrow and diamond motifs. The all-cotton back has a slit for inserting a cushion.
