Featured in this lot is a Navajo Crystal Eye Dazzler Trading Post rug circa 1970s. The rug features a wonderfully and professionally crafted tightly woven wool construction. The rug features a traditional Crystal Eye Dazzler design that shows coloration of red, black, off white, light grey and dark grey. The border of the rug features a medium size black border with zagging white segments. The regional pattern crystal starts in the mid 1930s. The pattern is borderless with horizontal bands of geometric designs. The bands are separated by “wavy lines”. This is created by alternating and crossing the color of each weft.
