Mario Chávez selects a traditional Zapotec motif for this handsome cushion cover. Working in naturally dyed wool woven on the handloom, he sets golden starbursts on crimson fields. The cover features a slot opening to insert the cushion.
Because each piece is individually woven, measurements could vary +/- 1 inch (3 cm).
