Story
The late 1960s sparked a massive cultural pivot toward the stars, fueled by the hit musical 'Hair' and a growing fascination with mysticism.
Maker / Origin

The colors remain remarkably vibrant, suggesting it was likely used as a wall hanging rather than a floor rug. Value is driven by the current high demand for 'Boho-Chic' and Mid-Century occult-themed decor.
