Title A name given to the resource 63_34_86.jpg Description An account of the resource Dates: 1944-1944 Size: 157.5 x 104.5 cm; 8 warps(comma) 44 wefts Description: This rug is a unique example that represents mid-20th century experiments by the United States government to assist the Navajo economy. In 1935 the Southwestern Range and Sheep Breeding Laboratory was established at Fort Wingate(comma) Arizona. Due to sheep breeding issues in the late 19th and early 20th century(comma) the quality of wool used in Navajo weaving had deteriorated. The Fort Wingate School program aimed at developing better quality wool(comma) and thus weavings(comma) while also retaining adequate meat supply on the reservation. Not only was this rug created by a Navajo weaver at the Fort Wingate School(comma) but it was also one of 75 made with expensive experimental chrome dyes that were supposed to create brighter colors.
