Product Description
This rug has a classic Zapotec design colloquially referred to as the Caracol (or “snail” in English), in various tones of red and brown. The caracol design is enhanced by delicate geometric outlines. The most striking feature of this rug is its depth of colour. The shades of red, brown and green are all very subtle and gentle and together they combine to produce a rug with wonderful warmth and depth of colour which would be equally suited to modern or traditional decor.
Hand-woven using only 100% wool the detail of the design makes the weaving a very time consuming process, as the little bundles of wool constantly have to be changed.
This rug is made using traditional Zapotec methods under the supervision of Don Isaac Vásquez, the man credited with reviving the disappearing pre-Hispanic techniques, along with famous Mexican artist Francisco Toledo.
