    Description

    Large Navajo rug, hand woven of natural and dyed wools, with a twisted edge cord.  At first I thought I might be a Teec Nos Pos design, but someone with considerably more knowledge than me corrected that misconception, so now I'm calling it a regional design, though it was mentioned it could also be a Crystal.  Either way, you have to admit, it's busy and striking.  Measures 30 inches wide by 38 inches long.  Condition is excellent - lays flat, with a tight smooth weave, there's no pulls, no fuzz, no moth bites, all corner tassels intact, no odors, from a non-smoking home.  I held it up to the light to see if there were any moth bites, and couldn't even see light thru it.  Weaver is unknown.  I purchased this rug from a Cowan auction at some point prior to 2012, but don't recall the exact date, nor how much I paid for it, and no information came with it.  The rug is more pre-owned than used, I never displayed it, just packed it away after purchase.  The gray and brown fibers appear to be natural, I don't know if the other colors are vegetal dyed or commercial dyed.  It's a lovely rug, and would make a statement as a wall hanging.
    Keep an eye on my auctions, as I'm downsizing my collection of Native American art, necessary due to advancing age and a move to a smaller home, and I'd like to see my treasures find new homes with people who will truly appreciate them.
    Please ask any questions you might have before bidding, I'll do my best to answer promptly.  I strive to describe my items accurately, to the best of my ability and knowledge.  Please take the time to read the description, and view the photographs, which are considered part of the description, and don't hesitate to ask questions.  Thank you for looking, and good luck bidding.
