Description
A handwoven Zapotec wool textile from Oaxaca, Mexico, likely intended as a table runner or wall hanging. Crafted from natural wool, it features a soft, rustic texture and an earthy, neutral background characteristic of traditional Zapotec weaving. The centerpiece showcases a large fish enclosed within an oval, symbolizing abundance and prosperity in Zapotec culture. The design combines geometric and abstract elements in muted shades of pink, brown, and cream, accented by small contrasting square motifs. The fringed ends and reversible construction highlight the artisan quality and durability typical of Zapotec textiles. An example of Oaxacan folk art, blending natural materials with meaningful cultural symbolism. H: 57" | W: 28.5", good condition.
