This is a tightly hand woven and hand dyed Navajo Native American Indian Chief Blanket Pattern. Chief's blankets typically show large cross like motifs with a strong pattern and would have been displayed in the Chief's Tent or worn on a Chief's shoulders. Other 19th century examples of the Chiefs Blanket can been seen in early photographs showing the rugs draped around such great Indians as Chief Joseph, Sitting Bull and others. The rug shows great condition. This is truly a wonderful 20th century Navajo creation and shows exceptional quality. Similar quality pieces carry a gallery price tag exceeding $4000-$6000. Originally purchased for over the estimate. Measures: 36 1/4" W x 42 1/2" L
