This is an amazingly visually strong pattern on a Crystal Trading Post textile. It was woven from all hand-spun Native wool with only red aniline dye. The center design appears to be in the process of enlarging into an explosive moment. The grey, red, and white zigzag lines seem to vibrate. The dark brown variegated wool is deep in color and reminiscent of a night sky. The Vallero Stars float on the night sky as twinkling lights.
The weaver of this Visually Strong Navajo Rug, circa 1920s, had a wonderful sense of design. She created a textile that is beautiful, dynamic, colorful and energetic. It is an impressive textile to view.
Condition: very good condition
Provenance: this Visually Strong Navajo Rug - Textile circa 1920s is from the collection of an Oklahoma City resident who purchased it in 2006 from Michael Smith Gallery, Santa Fe.
