Original Description:
ONE OF MY FIRST PURCHASES WHEN TRAVELING TO ARIZONA. THIS IS A WONDERFUL HANDMADE NAVAJO RUG/WEAVING WHICH I BOUGHT AT FROM A NAVAJO IN A STAND NEAR THE GRAND CANYON. THE SELLER SAID IT WAS HIS AUNT WHO MADE THE RUG BUT I DO NOT KNOW THE NAME. IT HAS BEEN LOVED BY ME, HUNG ON A WALL IN A TRADITION RUG WALL HANGER SINCE I PURCHASED IT. I HAS ESCAPED MOTHS AND LIGHT. IT HAS BEEN IN STORAGE FOR THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS AND IT NOW TIME TO DOWNSIZE. 
WHEN LOOKING AT THE PHOTOS...NOTE .......THE FIRST THREE ARE OF SIDE ONE AND THE NEXT THREE ARE OF THE OTHER SIDE. I DID THIS SO YOU COULD SEE THAT NEITHER SIDE HAS FADED. YOU CAN TELL THE BIRDS ARE IN REVERSE FROM THE OTHER SIDE.

THE PIECE MEASURES 41 1/2" IN LENGTH AND 26 1/2" WIDE. IT HAS TIGHT WEAVING USING A COMBINATION OF HAND-CARDED WOOL FROM THE CHURRO SHEEP RAISED BY THE WEAVER AS WELL AS COMMERCIAL WOOL AND HAS A WOOL WARP. I LIKED THAT THE HAND-CARDED WOOL WAS A BIG PART OF THIS PIECE. IT HAS BECOME LESS USED AND REPLACED BY COMMERCIAL SPUN AND DIED WOOL. THIS IS CONSIDERED A PICTORIAL RUG SHOWING CORNSTALK WITH THE BIRDS. CORN IS AN IMPORTANT CROP FOR THE NATIVE AMERICAN PEOPLE. NO DAMAGE....
SHIPPING WILL BE IN A FLAT RATE PRIORITY LARGE BOX, IN PLASTIC WITH TRACKING AND INSURANCE. 
PLEASE ASK ALL QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING.
