This Authentic Vintage Navajo Indian Ganado Dazzler Wool Rug is a true one of a kind highly collectible piece of hand made Native American art. We estimate that this rug was made pre 1940s. It was made the traditional old fashioned way- spun by hand. This Navajo made rug was masterfully created from genuine wool. There's some wear which is natural. But, for a pre-40s rug it is in excellent condition. The southwestern Pueblo Indian Ganado Dazzler design was created from orange, red, black, and gray wool that was colored with dyes made from natural vegetation indigenous to the Navajo Indian reservation. This rug is a true one of a kind collectors item! This wool rug is 36" by 57".

The Ganado style Navajo rug generally consists of one stepped diamond shaped center medallion or two connected stepped diamonds. Stepped and embellished triangles in each corner make up a quincunx pattern all surrounded by a geometric border. The colors consist of red, gray, ivory, black and sometimes brown. The predominant "Ganado red" color is colored with synthetic dyes as was the black color.

We understand the true value and nature of hand crafted Indian art. And, we recognize it's important to know that the artist is truly a member of a Native American tribe. So, to ensure you that this is the real deal, a Certificate of Authenticity has been included with this item.
