Description
Dates: 1880-1900
Size: 155.5 x 107.5 cm; 6 warps(comma) 22 wefts
Description: During the late 19th century Navajo weaving went through a period of transition where the market changed from creating wearing blankets to weaving rugs for Anglo-Americans. This new trade was funneled through trading posts where synthetic dyes and machine produced wool and yarn were made readily available. Rugs from this transitional period (1868 to 1900) are characterized as more coarsely woven with very bright colors. This example consists of a classical meander pattern in orange and purple with lines of green against a red background.
