I purchased another Zapotec rug in the same pattern many years in Taos. I laid this new rug next to the older rug and the quality of the new rug is the same high quality as the older one. Thank you.

I have this on my bathroom floor. It is beautiful and practical, cozy to my bare feet and very durable.
