Hand Woven Jalieza Sunrise Table Runner Mexico

Beautiful hand woven goldenrod cotton table runner made on a back strap loom by a women's collective in San Mateo Jalieza, Oaxaca. Women from around the town work to keep the craft alive by teaching each other and new generations how to use the backstrap loom.

Stunning goldenrod color with a geometric design running down the middle, along with a white and tan stripes, and tassels on each end. Would also look great as a bed runner.

Just outside of Oaxaca City lies an oasis of handwoven cotton: the village of Santo Tomas Jalieza. Here, the backstrap loom is the heartbeat of almost every household.
