Beginning at the center with cool shades of blue and lavender, the design flows outward into greens, then gradually shifts into rich browns and earthy reds, creating a visually dynamic and harmonious composition.
Handwoven from hand-spun wool on a traditional cotton foundation, the rug is executed in a classic flat weave, a hallmark of authentic Navajo textiles. The precision of the diamond forms and the meticulous use of color reflect the weaver’s deep artistic sensibility and cultural knowledge.
The palette, created with natural organic dyes derived from local plants and minerals, is not only environmentally rooted but also reflects the deep connection between Navajo artisans and their land. Each hue and motif carries symbolic meaning, making this piece a powerful expression of tradition, spirituality, and artistic innovation.
This rug remains in excellent vintage condition and serves equally well as decorative wall art or a floor covering, offering collectors and design enthusiasts a piece that is both historically significant and visually captivating.
