Antique Navajo Rug

This is a Navajo rug from the central part of the Navajo reservation, Ganado, Fort Defiance, all the way up towards the old Crystal trading post. Unique design that is rather unusual with its stepped head to head square design, with pictorial feather designs and just a few hooks which are scattered throughout the rug. The border itself has the serrated step design. This rug is hand spun hand carded native wool, dyed with vegetal and aniline dyes

Condition: fair condition for age, this rug has been well loved, some restoration.

Circa: 1920
