Fine Old Two Grey Hills Native American Navajo 41 " X 70 " Rug
Item History & Price
OLD NATIVE AMERICAN NAVAJO TWO GREY HILLS WOVEN RUG70" X 41"
We are pleased to offer a very fine old Native American Navajo Two Grey Hills woven rug measuring about 70" by 41." The rug uses geometric forms in natural dyed and carded wool of black, tan and cream, a regional design of the Two Grey Hills Navajo reservation that uses a black border, four matching corner elements and a double diamond design in the center. It is woven from the wool of shee...p personally raised by tribe members rather than commercially available wool. There is one tan stripe that intersects the weaving through the black border. Called a "spirit line, " it is meant to allow the weaver's creative energies, or spirit, to escape from the rug rather than be trapped within it. This gorgeous weaving is old--dating to the 1930s or 1940s and there is evidence of wear. There is at least one small dime-size hole, several places where it is threadbare, a few places of hand-stitched repair and there are loose areas around the outer borders. The estate from which this came displayed it as a wall hanging but I see no holes in the corners. This rug was sold but returned for condition, so I'm attempting to be more critical and exacting in my description now. It's an old rug with wear and small areas of repair. Thanks for your consideration.
