Description: Two Grey Hills is a regional style associated with the Toadlena and Two Grey Hills Trading Post established in 1914 by George Bloomfield and Ed Davis. The style was inspired by rugs being created at the Crystal(comma) NM(comma) Trading Post and patterns on local prehistoric ceramics. Two Grey Hills rugs are characterized by the use of natural browns(comma) tan(comma) gray(comma) ivory(comma) white(comma) and black colors. They rarely incorporate reds(comma) oranges(comma) or blues. Typical designs feature terraced diamond centers(comma) corner elements(comma) and full border designs. A unique motif used in Two Grey Hills rugs are the multiple-outlined Z shape. This example is a small fine weave warp in tan(comma) browns(comma) grey(comma) black(comma) and white woven by the famous Navajo weaver Daisy Taugelcheee.
