Vintage hand-embroidered sheep's wool rug by Olga Fisch, 1980

Magnificent and fun hand-embroidered tapestry in Ecuadorian sheep wool with geometric fish motifs, bead details and finished with brown tassels at the bottom. Designed by Olga Fisch, it is hand woven and dyed by the artisans at Olga Fisch Folklore. The animals stand out on an orange background, arranged asymmetrically. A very original gift idea.
