Included in this lot is a Navajo Native American Ganado Crystal wool rug from the early 1900's. Located southwest of Crystal in the geographical center of the Navajo Reservation the Ganado style of weaving was established by Lorenzo Hubbell in late 1800. The motif generally consists of one or more stepped diamonds or stepped and embellished triangles. The colors are usually dominated by a red background with gray, ivory, black and red designs surrounded by a geometric border. This rug features a black border with two central diamond medallions and unique stepped whimsical design in tan, red, and black. The rug is in fair condition, showing some wear around the edges. The rug measures 34 1/2" by 24 1/2".
