Living in Arizona one becomes accustomed to seeing rugged accent pieces and a lot of leather goods.  But this leather table runner is different - hundreds of woven strips of leather combined to make an unusual and beautiful topic of conversation.  The colors are rich and the runner is quite sturdy and hefty.  I thought the piece was crafted 100 miles down the road but was very surprised to find that it was made in India, land of cow reverence.  That being the case, it made me wonder what animals gave their all to the tanning process ???
