Delivery Estimate
Inspired by designs hewn in stone, Alberto Ruiz García turns his eyes to the Monte Albán archeological site for this design. The intricate central motif is inspired by the maguey plant that flourishes in the sierra. Bands of fretwork adorn this brilliant handloomed rug titled "Escudo de Monte Albán" in Spanish.
Because each rug is individually woven, measurements could vary +/- 4 inches (10 cm).

"My Favourite Rug"
This is my favourite Mexican rug at home. I love it so much. Its a sturdy thing. I wash it by hand with cold water on my cement patio. It is remarkably stain repellent. I expect to have it for the rest of my life. Hint: make sure you have lavender and other moth-repellent natural products in your home, because this beauty is wool.
