Product Description
This rug has a classic Zapotec design colloquially referred to as the Caracol (or “snail” in English). Woven in various tones of red all of which come from “Cochinilla”. The delicate geometric outlines enhance the caracol design and the subtle variations and the depth of colour from the different reds employed, combine beautifully to give this traditional rug a warm and elegant appeal. 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.
