Navajo Rug
7' x 4'7". A very nice example of the J.B. Moore Catalog Plate XXVI (26) weaving. The striking red field boasts nearly all the elements of Plate 26, however the weaver here included four thunderbirds instead of the two song birds in the original design. One of the more difficult Moore Plate weavings to find and thus very collectible. Woven with all Native hand-carded, handspun and hand-dyed long-staple Churro sheep wool on a wool warp. Circa 1915.
$6,000-9,000
Provenance: Ranchfolks Navajo Rugs.
Condition
Very slight a/b sides. One side slightly faded. All corner tassels intact. Some minor snags visible to selvage and throughout. Some thin areas visible throughout, possibly mothing.
