This is an excellent, hand woven flat weave rug by master weaver Diego Ruiz. It was made using 100% soft, fine, hand spun yarns in a beautiful Ganado Promontory pattern. The rug was hand woven with a tight weave of 100% hand spun wool yarns, which offers natural variegation and durability with color fast aniline dyes. The tight hand-woven weave displays bright, rich tones in the fine Promontory pattern of the time-honored Zapotec, multi-generational craft by a master weaver, Diego Ruiz. The rug shows a phenomenal, Navajo-like Ganado pattern, which is of the historic Lorenzo Hubbell Trading Post days of the 1800’s, with modern contemporary detail showing a light brown, black, and red heathered banded background and large diamond pattern. It is finished by the bands of color on each end. The bottom and top ends of the rug are profusely decorated with a tri-braided end weave that is finished with tassels. The piece is brand new, in pristine condition, with a fine, tight weave; it is one of the nicest rugs shown in this auction. The rug measures 2.5’ by 5' (2.5 foot by 5 foot). This is a brand-new rug.
