bedroom area rug

Centering a crimson shield, a golden sky hosts twinkling stars. Alberto Ruiz weaves a spectacular design, interpreted in virgin wool. The Zapotec rug is handloomed with Ruiz's own distinctive style.

Titled "Destellos Zapotecos" in Spanish.

Because each rug is individually woven, measurements could vary +/- 2 inches (5 cm).

The Bazan family has been weaving Zapotec-style rugs for many generations, dedicating themselves thoroughly to every step of the process. They purchase wool from a farmer near their home and dye it with natural dyes collected from native Mexican plants and the local marketplace. Depending on the size and intricacy of the design, a rug such as this one can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks of labor to complete. Woven in rich oranges, blues, yellows and greens, this design invokes Maya patterning native to the Teotitlán area and will surely be a striking piece of craftsmanship in your home.
