Navajo (Diné) Transitional Period Rug, Natural Wool, Serrated Diamond Pattern

About the Item

This stunning Navajo (Diné) rug from the Transitional Period (circa 1875–1910) features a bold serrated diamond pattern—an iconic and highly collectible design in Navajo weaving traditions. Handwoven by Diné artisans using native handspun wool, this piece showcases a rich interplay of natural fleece tones—ivory, white, and dark gray—accented by vibrant aniline-dyed red and orange yarns. The dynamic geometry, enhanced by the contrast between natural and dyed fibers, reflects the technical mastery and evolving artistic expression of the Diné weavers during this culturally significant era.
