Description
27” x 40” Wonderfully simple and very beautiful vintage Native American Navajo rug in a Tree of Life design pattern. The Navajo rug has an ivory color background with a tree design in the center and with branches emanating from the land to the heavens with each branch having the design of the bird with different colors. The rug has an inner border in turquoise color and an outer border in brown. It would be an ideal wall tapestry art work. Navajo rugs are generally flat woven with wool for the body of the rug and usually cotton foundation. Navajo weavers use natural organic dyes that are available around their tribal land. The Navajo rugs have geometric designs and the design and symbols have religious and cultural meanings.
