Crossing fields of arm cherry red in neat bands, pyramids, temples and mountains appear in the glow of dawn. Inspired by Navajo designs, Alberto Ruiz and his wife weave a beautiful Zapotec rug on the handloom, adding accents in black and olive green.
Because each rug is individually woven, measurements could vary +/- 2 inches (5 cm).

"Beautiful rust coloured will rug"
This rug is absolutely beautiful and I was surprised how soft the wool feels under your bare feet - amazing! The colour is pretty accurately shown in the pictures but the written description of the colours is misleading, as another reviewer noted. Luckily I was banking on it being the colour shown in the pictures -and not the description - the red is actually a rust color, the black is more like charcoal or navy and the green is a yellowy olive green - exactly what I was hoping for. Thank you Albert!!
