01 - Navajo Textiles, Large Navajo Rug: Chinle Classic Revival, Vegetal (4'x7'), 1950
Handspun wool
Woven of smooth, hard, tightly-spun wool with beautiful natural and muted pastel shades using the Navajo land native vegetal dyes. A revival of an early 19th-century shoulder blanket pattern. There are about six tiny or single stitch "half-hole" moth nibbles on one side only, otherwise excellent condition. This has superior quality wool and weave, smooth high-grade wool, finely spun and tightly packed.
