Featured in this lot is this Navajo Teec Nos Pos hand woven rug circa 1930's. The rug shows a wonderfully and professionally crafted wool construction. The rug features stepped decoration with a ventral medallion and shows coloration of light grey, off white, light brown, red, and green. The rug features a Lazy Lines throughout the rug consistent with showing age and authenticity of the rug. Teec Nos Pos is located in the northeast corner of Arizona and rose to prominence in 1905, spinning off of J.B. Moore’s Crystal weaving style. The Teec Nos Pos pattern is widely considered to be the most intricate and detailed of all Navajo rug designs offering a truly exceptional distinct look. The rug was hand woven by skilled weavers and shows bright natural style dyes in a traditional geometric Teec Nos Pos Crystal Pattern. The rug is made in the style, manner and quality craftsmanship of Navajo Weavings, but not made by a Navajo Indian. The condition of this Navajo rug shows some minor repairs and some wear to the fringe but otherwise shows well preserved condition. The measurements of this rug is 81" x 45 1/4".
