Description: After a decline in the Navajo rug market during the Great Depression(comma) a revival period(comma) focused in northeastern Arizona(comma) brought back stylized classic designs made with vegetable dyed wools. One of the best known regional types is the Ganado style. The Klagetoh type is often considered a subtype of the Ganado. It features a single or double central diamond motif enclosed by a thick border. What distinguishes Klagetoh from Ganado is that Klagetoh weavings have predominately gray(comma) instead of red(comma) backgrounds. This regional example was woven by Esther Billie using aniline and natural dyed handspun wools.
