    Description

    This is a one of a kind, handwoven, 100% wool rug which is approximately 30” x 60” in size. Authentic Zapotec handwoven.
    The Zapotec Village of Teotitlan del Valle was founded in 1465.  At that time and for years later they wove fabric for clothing only.  After the arrival of the Spanish the Zapotecs became familiar with weaving with sheep’s wool, the spinning wheel and the horizontal foot loom.. The Zapotecs made a simple version of these tools and incorporated the tools into their own style of weaving and that became the rug weaving tradition we are familiar with today.
