This is a vintage Mexican Zapotec kilim woven from pure Oaxacan wool. It is a vibrant and finely crafted textile that reflects Oaxaca's rich weaving heritage.

The kilim features a bold central diamond medallion in warm shades of red, orange, and yellow, surrounded by horizontal bands of geometric motifs, including arrows and stylised X-patterns. The symmetry and repetition of these motifs are characteristic of traditional Zapotec design, often symbolising natural elements, protection, and movement.
