Zapotec rug (194 x 125cm, orange red)

Locally known as tapete. Oaxaca, Mexico This is a naturally dyed wool rug woven by the Zapotec people of Teotitlan del Valle village. They do not use chemicals for the dyes, but instead use dyes extracted from nature, such as indigo for blue, rosemary for yellow, and cochineal, a bug collected from cacti for red. The yarn is then dyed and woven. The colors are very natural. The unique color combinations made by the local people are also appealing.

This is a Zapotec rug with a simple pattern. At first glance it looks flashy, but it has a slightly dull, natural color because it is made using natural dyes. If you look closely, you can see that it is woven using a combination of orange and red threads. This is a one-of-a-kind wool rug.

Size: 194 x 125 cm (fringe not included)
