The rich colors and Contemporary spirit of this authentic Zapotec rug caught my eye the minute I walked into the rug gallery at Santa Fe Saavy in Scottsdale. Imported from Oaxaca, Mexico, and hand-loomed of Churro wool and American mohair by skilled weaver Francisco Santiago Bautista, it would be sensational underfoot, or hung on a wall, like the work of art that it is. For additional information on this beauty, which features the Zachila design,
