If you frequently find yourself on a quest for MEXICAN RUGS, Wings on Things may very well become one of your favorite locations on the Internet! Truly a home décor website, this is a wonderful place to find MEXICAN RUGS in general, and Zapotec Rugs in particular. And, if birds are included in your home decorating ideas, this should prove to be the proverbial gold mine!

Take for example, this lovely piece. At 50” long and 27” wide, it can serve as a tapestry; a throw rug; or a unique draping on the back of a couch. Its rustic gray color with tan tassels blends well with a variety of color palates. Its real allure, however, is the fact that it features humming birds intricately woven into the fabric.

As is often the case with MEXICAN RUGS, this one is divided into five “panels.” On either end are two panels, each sporting two lovely humming birds - - one red and one blue. Separating them is a pyramid-shaped design featuring a brown base with a rust-colored top.

The center panel identifies where, exactly, many of our MEXICAN RUGS come from: OAXACA. Written with alternating letters of dark green and orange, this helps to make this MEXICAN RUG something that you will both be proud to own and to display!
