Navajo Klagetoh Trading Post Rug c. 1920's
Featured in this lot is this Navajo Klagetoh trading post rug, circa 1920's. The rug features an off-white field with geometric patterns of red and black and a beautiful central medallion decoration. Klagetoh is located just south of Ganado and 10 miles north of Wide Ruins. The English translation is “hidden springs.” The Klagetoh weaving is very similar to the Ganado rugs, but with a predominantly gray background instead of the Ganado’s red. Some experts do not consider Klagetoh a specific regional rug, rather it is considered a sub-type of Ganado. The condition of this rug is fair, with significant wear to the rug consistent with the age of the rug. The measurements of this rug are 56" x 37 1/2".
