This is a beautiful Navajo weaving with Crystal pattern by weaver Nellie Totaami from the 20th Century. This example has a nice fine weave showing handspun yarn with aniline dyes. The rug shows a unique unbanded Crystal pattern in light pastel colors of peach, taupe, brown, green and white / cream. This piece is from the Toh-Atin Trading Post gallery, first established in 1957, where it was found to be an authentic example. The piece comes with the Toh-Atin trading post tag marked accordingly. The rug is in pristine museum quality condition. Measures overall 36” by 22”.
