Navajo Teec Nos Pos Pattern Weaving / Rug - Dimensions: 57”x90”   Condition: some small spots of staining on the back side in the upper center. A small fabric discrepancy on the front, as shown in the photo.   About: Teec Nos Pos is a Navajo regional weaving style named for the trading post in the northeast corner of Arizona near the Four Corners, established around 1905. Traders in the district showed local weavers imported Persian and Oriental carpets, and the resulting type became the most ornate of the Navajo regional styles: a wide, elaborate multiple border frames a densely filled field of geometric, hooked and feather-like elements, with the motifs characteristically outlined in a contrasting color. Palettes are broad and often bright, and the weaving is typically fine and tight.
