This 45 x 69 rug features tightly woven, finely detailed serrated patterns in traditional red, black, heather, natural, light grey, and dark grey colored wools. Excellent condition. This rug features clear lazy or sectional lines, which indicate that the weaver worked on one section, moved on to another section, and then the two sections met to form a diagonal join. Navajo rug authenticity is established through several indicators, and the presence of lazy lines is one such sign of authenticity. Machine made rugs do not feature lazy lines, and most other weaving cultures do not work in the same way that Navajo weavers do. From the Tahoe Wovoka Estate Collection. Wovoka Collection HKA#63123
