Antique Native American Indian Teec Nos Pos Navajo-Style Rug Textile

About the Item

​78662 Small Square Antique Teec Nos Pos Navajo Rug, 02'00 x 02'00. Behold the modern desert elegance of the Southwest, marrying the nomadic charm of Native American culture in this small handwoven wool antique Teec Nos Pos Navajo rug. This enchanted Navajo rug weaves together the geometric patterns of the Native American spirit with the earthy hues of the desert, forming a beguiling work of art. The described Teec Nos Pos Navajo rug is a visually striking piece, characterized by its 2 x 2 square dimensions and a vibrant color palette. Central to its design is a stepped cross and diamond motif in the middle, prominently featuring the colors red, gray, and orange. This central diamond draws immediate attention, creating a focal point that anchors the overall design and beckons forth the spirits of ancient wisdom. In each of the four corners of the rug, there are concentric squares on a neutral gray backdrop that add to its symmetry and balance. The top left and bottom right corners feature concentric squares in red and golden ochre, while the top right and bottom left corners display squares in purple and golden ochre. These contrasting colors create a harmonious yet dynamic visual effect, enhancing the rug's appeal and showcasing the weaver's skill in color coordination. While Teec Nos Pos rugs are typically known for their intricate patterns, this Navajo rug's design allows its bold colors and geometric shapes to stand out prominently. The plain background further accentuates the central diamond and corner squares, making them the primary visual elements. This Teec Nos Pos rug not only reflects traditional Navajo design motifs but also offers a unique and contemporary interpretation, making it a culturally rich and aesthetically pleasing addition to any collection. Teec Nos Pos Navajo rugs, originating in the early 20th century in the community of Teec Nos Pos within the Navajo Nation, are among the most intricate and distinctive Navajo weavings. Influenced by traditional Navajo techniques and external cultural motifs introduced by Hispanic and Anglo settlers, these rugs are known for their highly detailed, symmetrical designs featuring geometric patterns like zigzags and diamonds. They typically use a rich and varied color palette, including both natural and synthetic dyes, with bold contrasts that enhance their visual impact. Teec Nos Pos rugs are characterized by their tight weave and high-quality wool, making them durable and visually striking. Highly collectible and valued as both functional items and works of art, Teec Nos Pos rugs represent the adaptability and creativity of Navajo weavers and their cultural heritage. Rendered in variegated shades of golden ochre, beige, gray, brick red and purple with other accent colors. Abrash. Handwoven wool. Made in America. Measures: 02'00 x 02'00 (24 in x 24 in).
