Zapotec wool rug (1.5x6.5), "Four Diamonds"
Golden diamonds dance delightfully across a fiery red background. Gracing a handloomed rug, the intricate motifs allude to ancient Zapotec motifs. Alberto Ruiz and his wife weave a beautiful Zapotec rug of soft virgin wool. They name the design "Cuatro Diamantes" in Spanish.
Because each rug is individually woven, measurements could vary +/- 1 inch (3 cm).
