Crafted using time-honored flat-weave techniques, the rug features a wool body on a cotton foundation. The geometric design elements are not merely decorative�they often carry deep spiritual and cultural significance, passed down through generations of Navajo artisans.

Dyes are traditionally sourced from the natural environment surrounding the tribal lands, resulting in richly nuanced colors achieved through plant-based and mineral pigments. This thoughtful use of natural materials enhances both the beauty and integrity of the piece.
