Handwoven Mexican Shag Rug

Description

Originating from San Juan Chamula in Chiapas, Mexico, this exceptional shag rug showcases the artistry of contemporary Indigenous weaving. Created by artisan Maruch, the piece is crafted from natural churro sheep’s wool—handspun, woven on a traditional backstrap loom, and finished with foot-felted texture for remarkable softness and depth. Colorful dyed tassels accent the natural wool tones, adding a vibrant touch that honors regional tradition. New and in excellent condition, this rug represents a harmonious blend of heritage technique and modern design sensibility. Approximate value: $200 USD.
