The size of this textile is approximately 36" X 26", with a hand spun wool warp of about 10, and a hand spun Wool Weft of about 40+ (tight and fine weave!). A beautifully designed, well constructed piece of Native America! EXCELLENT TO MINT CONDITION FOR AGE (Please see all pics!): The wools within this rug are in great condition, still have luster and sheen, and the weaving is structurally sound with no damage. There is NO Fading, NO Dry/Rotted Wool, NO Stains, and NO Holes or Snags. The End Selvage Cords are 100% present (a braid of 2 white wool cords), and the side selvage cords are intact and present (a twist of 2 white wool cords) with no fraying or loss to side edges. The corners are in excellent condition, and the four corner ties are present (see pic of corners).
THIS IS A CLASSIC NAVAJO WEAVING WHICH DISPLAYS VERY WELL AS A WALL HANGER- (SEE ALL PICS).
History of Burntwater Rugs: Burris N. Barnes' trading post burned one day and its timbers fell into the water well. From that time forward the Navajo called the area Burntwater. Later, a trading post was built and was called the Burntwater Trading Post. Don Jacobs was the trader. Master Weaver Mary Goldtooth Smith had been exposed to the mesmerizing geometric designs in weaving styles like the Ganado and Teec Nos Pas while at the Hubble Trading post. She realized that the geometrics commanded more money than their banded Pine Springs and Wide Ruins counterparts. In 1968, Mary Goldtooth Smith, her daughter Maggie Price, and her niece, Philomena Yazzie (all from the Pine Springs area), made the artistic decision to combine two weaving styles that had been separate for more than 100 years—the traditional border design elements found in Two Grey Hills, and the earth-toned dyes of the Crystal/Wide Ruins region where the plant and natural dye stuff was collected and the Burnt Water Style and Tradition was born. See pic with dollar bill for size comparison. SEE ALL PICS - THEY ARE PART OF THE DESCRIPTION! BOTH SIDES photographed in entirety.
