Featured in this lot is this Navajo Crystal Eye Dazzler Trading Post rug c. 1950's. This rug shows a wonderfully and professionally crafted wool construction that features a traditional Eye Dazzler design that shows a twill decoration that features a hand woven construction with crystal decoration adorning the borders and throughout the center of the rug. Originally the Old Crystal trading post was established in 1894, in this remote part of the Navajo Reservation Southwest of Two Grey Hills and Northwest of Gallup. In 1896 J.B. Moore purchased an interest in the trading post and re-named it Crystal after a pure sparkling mountain spring that was in the area. The condition of this rug is good with no obvious signs of damage and shows good overall condition. The measurements of this rug are 59" x 29 1/2".
