Details

Titled "Sol sobre montañas" in Spanish.

Because each rug is individually woven, measurements could vary +/- 1 inch (3 cm).

"Bright and Cheery! Perfect!"

Exactly what I was looking for...a bright cheery rug to use beneath the barstools at my new kitchen island. The colors are perfect, exactly as pictured, and the craftsmanship is very nice. The wool is thick so I expect this rug will wear well. Couldnt be happier!
