Zapotec Handwoven Natural Dyed Hanging Feather Rug Made in Oaxaca Mexico

About the Item

The rescue of Zapotec roots, the preservation of textile traditions and teaching are currently the occupations of Roman Gutiérrez, renowned master weaver of Oaxaca, a state that owns a great tradition in the textile work of wool on a pedal loom. Román, in addition to restoring textiles, carries out a thorough investigation and research on various subjects, as a result of which he found the technique of the twisted feather. A pre-hispanic technique that made painting feathers with natural dyes such as indigo and brazil-wood and then joining them by twisting them together, spinning them in a single thread. Román has helped the Museum of Oaxacan Textiles to restore many pieces and has won multiple awards such as the award for The Best Rescue Work of Old Pieces in the National Contest of Great Masterpieces of Folk Art. This museum piece is a living example of Roman´s talent and imagination. A hanging rug which is composed of wool thread, twisted feather thread, and leather. *Frame not included. Key words: Mexican, rug, Oaxaca, hand-woven.
