Non-regional Navajo-style rug, woven entirely in tapestry weave; Borderless design consists of 5 horizontal design bands alternating with 6 plain bands; Design bands at each end feature row of 3 open blue diamonds, while remaining three design bands each feature row of blue chevrons, all on plain white backgrounds; Four of the plain bands actually include a narrow band woven in a beading technique, using indigo blue and white colors, bordered in indigo blue and cochineal pink and wider bands of light brown; Plain bands at either end of rug are simply narrow plainweave bands in cochineal pink, indigo blue, and light brown; Twining cords are woven in contrasting cochineal pink wool yarns; Selvage cords are lacking on this rug; This rug was copied from an old rug that was found under the dog’s bed at Crystal Trading Post when a new owner took over in the late 1980s. |
