Featured in this lot is this Navajo Chief's blanket gallup throw. Gallup Throws are small vintage Navajo weavings, made during the first decades of the 20th century by Navajo weavers located near railroad stops and tourist centers. These weavings were too small to be used as rugs, instead intended as tabletop mats or wall hangings. This rug shows colors of black, blue, red and white colors with the black and blue in a striped pattern and the red showing a cross in the middle with white tipped ends. The gallup throw shows good condition with no signs of obvious damage or wear. The gallup throw measures 18 1/2" L x 15" W.
