Zapotec handwoven rugs in wool. 1028

Description: Zapotec handwoven rugs in wool. 1028 This rug is approximately 30” x 60”. It was totally handwoven by skilled adult weavers in Mexico. The wool is hand spun, hand dyed, and handwoven. Nearly all rugs are one of a kind works of art. 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.
