Mexican & Zapotec Wool Rugs
Zapotec wool runner, 'Star Path' (1.5x3)
Glowing in gold and ochre, stylized stars illuminate narrow paths. Gregorio Ruiz Lopez selects the quiet colors of the Sierra Madre in winter for this elegant rug. Woven by hand of virgin wool, it is titled "Jaula de Estrellas" in Spanish.
Zapotec rug, 'Glowing Embers' (2.5x6.5)
Glowing colors from natural dyes conjure the embers of a campfire in the sierra. This delightful rug by Gregorio Ruiz features intricate geometric designs. Masterfully woven by hand of soft virgin wool, it is a superb example of Zapotec weaving.
