Two Grey Hills Navajo Weaving Rug
This Navajo Two Grey Hills Weaving Rug is a distinctive regional style that originated on the east side of the Chuska Mountains. In the 1930s, Navajo weavers began using exclusively natural wools to create their pieces, resulting in a range of shades of grey, tan, and beige. The combination of these colors and the intricate weaving designs has made this regional style a popular choice among collectors. This particular rug measures 28 1/2 x 21 1/2 inches and was crafted around the year 2000, showcasing the enduring beauty and skill of Navajo weaving.
