Two Grey Hills Navajo Area Rug

This exquisite handwoven Navajo textile hails from Two Grey Hills, an area situated along the eastern slopes of Chuska Mountain. Here, master weavers were deeply inspired by their surrounding terrain. The rug's sophisticated geometric patterns echo the natural landscape, and its palette derives almost entirely from the inherent hues of sheep's wool, a testament to the weaver's skill and resourcefulness. Masterfully crafted in the early 1900s tradition, this collectible piece showcases the meticulous artistry and cultural heritage of Navajo weaving, with each pattern reflecting both artistic vision and a profound connection to the land.

• Colors: The rug showcases natural shades of cream, brown, gray, and black wool.
  
• Design: Defined by complex, four-fold symmetry and a central, hooked diamond motif, often featuring multiple borders.
  
• Craftsmanship: Weavers from this region are renowned for their exceptionally fine, tight weave, frequently achieving "tapestry" quality with high weft counts per inch.
  
• Origin: This style originates from Two Grey Hills and the nearby Toadlena trading posts located in the New Mexico portion of the Navajo Nation.
  
• Artistry: These weavings are highly valued as fine art due to the significant skill and time required for carding, spinning, and weaving the fine wool.
