Rug c. 20th century

This Navajo (Diné) rug, a classic example of the woven textiles produced by the Native American people, showcases a vibrant, geometric design that is characteristic of their traditional craftsmanship. The rug is composed of vertical stripes of white, black, and a rich orange-red, with intricate patterns of diagonal lines creating a sense of depth and texture. These woven rugs, known for their durability and beauty, were often used as floor coverings, blankets, and ceremonial items within the Navajo community.
