1940’s Native American Navajo Rug 28” X 53”
I traded for this rug in 1978 from a lady that waned to do some trading so we made a deal and I got the rug.
There is a stain on it and u will c in the pics that some little bit of the weaving has come lose. So of it was already done when I traded for it. Please check out the pics.
The colors are all Natural. Gray, Black, two colors of tan.
I am from New Mexico USA and my mother in law was a BIA agent for many many years, so I would go with her to there homes and do some buying and trading often for many years so that’s how I come about this rug and others.
