19.5 x 54 and 29 x 57. This lot consists of two flat-weave wool rugs produced in the Zapotec weaving tradition of Oaxaca, Mexico. Both items are constructed with a wool weft on a cotton warp. One rug features a white ground decorated with horizontal bands of polychrome geometric patterns, including two primary diamond-shaped medallions with red fields and interior motifs in blue, yellow, and green. It includes secondary bands of chevron and diamond motifs in a varied color palette of red, black, blue, yellow, green, and brown. The second rug is designed with a central gray field containing a stylized bird motif, often termed a Thunderbird, rendered in red, white, blue, yellow, and black. This central field is flanked by stylized floral and abstract patterns and bordered by a white saw-tooth or stepped design against a black background. The ends of this rug feature wide bands of multi-colored horizontal stripes in shades of red, pink, white, gray, ochre, and dark brown. Both textiles are finished with knotted fringe at the ends.
