About the Item

A dynamic and visually captivating example of traditional Navajo textile art, this early 20th-century Eye Dazzler rug is handwoven in the American Southwest with striking geometric intensity. The design features two vertical columns of varied diamond motifs, rendered in vivid ivory, red, and black, set against a warm oatmeal-toned ground. Woven from hand-spun wool on a cotton foundation, this rug displays a fine weave and high knot density, hallmarks of exceptional Navajo craftsmanship. The Eye Dazzler pattern, known for its optical energy and precision, became popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and continues to represent a bold expression of cultural identity and artistry. The color palette, achieved through natural, plant-based dyes, reflects the earthy vibrancy of the Southwestern landscape, while the diamond motifs carry deep symbolic resonance within Navajo spiritual tradition. This rug remains in excellent, original condition and serves as both a decorative statement and a collectible piece of Native American heritage. Whether showcased as wall art or a floor covering, it offers a rare blend of historical authenticity and modern visual impact.
