Original Description:
Zapotec Indian RugPure WoolThis is an exceptional Zapotec Wool Rug, handwoven in Oaxaca, Mexico. What is remarkable about this piece is that it is in pure wool very rarely seen until recently in Zapotec pieces. Historically the Zapotec have used cotton yarn as the foundation. Pendleton Woolen Mills of Oregon is now having Zapotecs hand weave Navajo style rugs to be sold under the Pendleton label. A comparable Pendleton rug sells for $500+. Made of pure wool this piece is beau...tifully supple and soft very much like a Navajo rug. Made with very high quality wool, both weave and warp. It is a very durable rug. The only difference between this Zapotec rug and a Navajo rug is the fringe and the price. It is a very affordable alternative to a Navajo. Please compare with similars. 
Rug measures a large 33" by 78". Standard size for a Zapotec rug is 30" by 60". This rug is unusually large. Weighs 4 pounds, 1 ounce of pure wool. Condition is excellent. Rug shows no signs of having been walked on. The fringe on Zapotec rugs is always a little rough. Colors are natural with black, brown, grays and red. It is in the "Terraced Crosses" design seen in both Navajo and Zapotec weavings. 
Please note that packing, insuring and shipping are at no additional cost to you in L48. Please visit my E-bay store for more wool. E-mail me with any questions. Thanks for looking.
