Description
Included in this lot is this Navajo inspired Zapotec Oaxaca Banded Medallion Saltillo Rug. This rug has alternating width running stripes of black and sage, with occasional stripes of light blue. The central red, white and black coloured cross-shaped medallions are parallel to the stripes, halved along the borders, which also have braided white tassels on the length-wise borders. Zapotec weavers have their own tradition of rug and blanket manufacture that is even older than the Navajo. Most scholars of pre-Columbian and American Southwest history, believe that many of the geometric design elements one finds in the Navajo textile patterns have their origin in link with the Aztec and Zapotec cultures of central and southern Mexico. The southwestern United States and Mexico are not viewed as two culturally distinct regions; but as a heterogeneous yet unified cultural area, in which deep-rooted regional traditions are linked by common beliefs and art. This Zapotec rug is in very good overall condition, no marring noted. Measures 44"W x 74"L
