Primary hues traverse this design in orderly rows, yet some flow like waves while others seem to skip and whirl. Gregorio Ruiz Lopez conjures dancing colors in an extraordinary rug. A superlative example of traditional Zapotec weaving, the piece is handloomed of soft virgin wool tinted with natural dyes. He names it Danza de Colores in Spanish. Because each rug is individually woven on handlooms, measurements could vary +/- 2 inches (5 cm).
