Oh gosh, I'm not sure really. This rug was my grandmother's and then my family inherited it. My grandmother had the rug for years. She may have purchased it at an artisan craft festival. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. It's a unique, handmade piece.

It is certainly wonderful- thank you for taking the time to answer my question and for sharing your home.

You're welcome, of course. I actually wish I could purchase another one of these beauties myself.
