Vintage 1974 Hand-Woven Zapotec Wool Rug - Oaxacan Storm Pattern Tapestry For Sale

Vintage 1974 Hand-Woven Zapotec Wool Rug - Oaxacan Storm Pattern Tapestry 46" X 26"
Authentic vintage hand-woven wool flat-weave rug featuring a striking geometric pattern. Combining traditional Southwestern indigenous layout concepts with Mexican Zapotec weaving execution, this piece retains its original merchant inventory tags precisely dating the textile to July 4, 1974.The design is heavily inspired by the classic Native American "Storm Pattern," featuring a central diamond focal point connected by geometric pathways to structured corners. The sides showcase bold, interlocking dark blue stepped key "greco" frets—a signature motif of Zapotec weavers from Teotitlán del Valle (Oaxaca, Mexico), famously modeled after the ancient stone ruins of Mitla.The original paper string-tags remain attached to the fringe corner, preserving unique 1970s trader/merchant inventory script detailing its production line, colorway, and weave type. Because the tag dates the piece precisely to 1974 and explicitly names specific pattern and styling guidelines, it holds clear value as a verified mid-century collector's accent piece.
