CLASSIC PERIOD CRYSTAL LARGE CHURRO WOOL NAVAJO CORNSTALK RUG

Description

LARGE ANTIQUE CLASSIC PERIOD NAVAJO WOOL RUG. I DO NOT PRESUME TO BE AN EXPERT ON NATIVE AMERICAN RUGS/BLANKETS.THIS RUG/BLANKET. MEASURES APPROXIMATELY 3 FEET BY 5 FEET. APPEARS TO HAVE NATURAL UNDIED WOOL. COLORS ARE SHADES OF BROWN AND GREY INDICATIVE OF CHURRO SHEEP WOOL WITH A FADED PINK BORDER. IT HAS SOME CHARACTERISTICS OF A CRYSTAL BLANKET.  HAS SOME AREAS OF REPAIR AND WEAR SHOWN ON THE PHOTOS. THERE ARE MULTIPLE LAZY LINES TO THE PIECE INDICATIVE OF AN OLDER PIECE. THE NEWER NAVAJO BLANKETS/RUGS ATTEMPT TO BE MORE PERFECT AND NAVAJO LAZY LINES ARE NOT SEEN. WHAT I FIND FACINATING ABOUT THIS BLANKET IS THE BLANKET IS NOT SYMMETRICAL IN ITS DESIGN. IF YOU LOOK AT THE CORN SYMBOLS, YOU WILL SEE THEY ARE NOT THE SAME ON EACH SIDE. THERE ARE ALSO ALSO ARROWS ON ONE SIDE OF THE BLANKET AND NOT THE OTHER. THIS BLANKET HAS SEVERAL CHARACTERISTICS INDICATING IT IS A VERY EARLY PIECE.I WILL NOT SHIP THE RUG WITH THE WOODEN HOLDER. HAS CORNSTALK SYMBOLISM ON THE BORDER. ANY INFORMATION ON THIS RUG WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED I.E. ITS ORIGIN, AGE, ETC. THANK YOU FOR LOOKING.
