This vintage Navajo rug, woven in the third quarter of the 20th century, features a striking banded chevron and stripe pattern rendered in a natural earth-tone palette of gray, ivory, black, and caramel. The rhythmic geometry and tonal balance reflect the deep artistry and cultural expression central to traditional Navajo weaving.

Handwoven using the time-honored flat-weave technique, the rug is constructed with a wool body on a cotton foundation—a signature of authentic Native American craftsmanship. The colors are likely achieved through the use of natural, plant- and mineral-based dyes, carefully sourced from the local terrain surrounding Navajo lands.

The geometric motifs featured throughout the design often carry spiritual and symbolic meanings, passed down through generations of Navajo weavers. While originally intended for functional use, this textile is equally well-suited as wall-mounted art, where its bold pattern and subtle palette can add depth and cultural resonance to any interior.

A refined and collectible example of mid-century Navajo textile art, this piece offers versatility, heritage, and visual impact.
