Zapotec Rug & Black Pottery Vase





I tried to explain my fascination with the zapotec rug weavers but I don't think as many people are impressed as I am. All of the colors are natural. The red is the cochineal bug that grows on cactus, the orange is from marigolds, the green is from a ceertain type of moss, the brown is from nut shells....beautiful.

The vase was found by the cow at a collective of native artisans combing their knowledge of pottery with more modern designs.
