Native American Navajo Indian Storm Wool Rug 40 X 33

Genuine Navajo Rug Traditional Storm Pattern Wool Rug

 by Navajo Weaver Louise Johnson

This incredible Rug is a gorgeous example of fine Navajo artistry.

Handcrafted entirely from genuine wool in the Storm pattern, in which the center is the hogan and the number of figures inside represent the number of children the weaver has. At the corners are the sacred mountains and a trail connects the hogan to the sacred mountains.

All of the wool for this rug has been hand-carded, spun and woven by Navajo rug weaver Louis Johnson.

The red dye is made from natural material indigenous to the reservation and the different shades of gray and white come from different shades of sheep.

Louise is so old she was born before they officially recorded the birth-date when registering Native Americans. Because of this, she is not even sure how old she is, though she guesses between 85 and 90.  :-)

Unfortunately, Louise will not be making many more rugs and we were lucky to get this one.

This gorgeous genuine Navajo rug is 40" by 33 1/2"
