Wenora Joe, Bird/Cow Pictoral, Navajo Handwoven Rug, 39 in x 47 in
Traders like JB Moore would be the first to introduce the art of the Navajo to collectors back east, but it was rugs (not silver) that first captured the imaginations collectors and decorators. Following Moore's suit, other traders would begin to market Navajo weaving, even influencing many of the well-known styles. Today styles are not defined by regions, but perfected by dedicated weavers from all parts of the Navajo Nations. We have put together a large collection of rugs on our online Trading Post and hope you take time to look through them all. Hopefully, you will find the perfect rug. Eye Dazzlers are just that, dazzling. They can be any color combination and the idea is to make them capture the imagination. The filled rugs are a lot like Navajo silver where simplicity is thrown out the window and more dazzle the better. Enjoy looking through our many different Eye Dazzlers, some with classic colors and others with very unique combinations.
