Zapotec Mexico Coaster Rugs is a popular type of handwoven wool coasters inspired by traditional Zapotec rugs from Oaxaca, Mexico. These are mini versions of the famous Zapotec textiles originating from the village of Teotitlán del Valle, where indigenous Zapotec artisans have crafted wool rugs for centuries using hand looms, natural sheep wool, and often natural dyes.

These coasters (often called "mug rugs," "rug coasters," or "mini tapestries") are typically around 5x6 inches, reversible, absorbent, and durable—perfect for protecting surfaces from hot or cold drinks, or even as small decorative mats. They feature geometric patterns, vibrant colors, or earthy neutrals, echoing the bold designs of full-sized Zapotec rugs.
