Aztec warrior design Used - great condition no flaws Measurements upon request Can be used as a blanket, rug or wall tapestry This handwoven flatweave textile originates from the Zapotec weaving communities of Oaxaca, Mexico, most notably Teotitlán del Valle. The design features geometric fret patterns known as grecas along the border, derived directly from the pre-Columbian stone mosaics at the ancient ruins of Mitla, enclosing a stepped central star medallion. Woven on a traditional floor loom using handspun wool weft over a cotton cord warp, it exemplifies mid-to-late twentieth-century Mexican folk textile production. While thousands of Zapotec rugs were crafted for the regional and international export trade, well-composed graphic examples with crisp geometric balance remain desirable decorative accents. Its durable double-sided flatweave construction allows versatility as either a floor rug or a wall-hanging tapestry. I Condition: Pre-owned. Category: Home & Garden › Bedding › Blankets & Throws.
