Although rugs were based on the catalogue patterns(comma) no two designs were ever the same. The Old Crystal type of weaving broke with traditional Navajo designs and incorporated popular Near Eastern rug motifs(comma) including adding borders and incorporating a central motif. Also characteristic of the Old Crystal style is a more muted color scheme(comma) with the incorporation of only red and touches of blue for bright colors. This example is based on a catalogue plate [#XXIV] from 1911 and is made of handspun wool with natural(comma) aniline(comma) and carded colors to create white(comma) black(comma) red(comma) and tan.
