Hammer marks are clearly evident inside of each cup. In addition, there are etched designs cut into the outside. They all create floral patterns of flowers and leaves.

$375 USDDecorative Navajo Weaving / Rug
Collectibles:Native Americana:Navajo Rug
In our search for the highest quality antique Navajo weavings, or rugs, we occasionally run across more contemporary items that are too good to ignore. That was the case with this marvelous item. This rug is definitely not an antique, but was probably woven during the second half of the 20th Century, based on the soft beige colors and the pattern. The design is the classic Ganado, or Klagetoh, diamond pattern, but the colors are more common for Two Grey Hills rugs. What makes this rug so ...
