Navajo rugs

Navajo rugs and textiles were produced by the Navajo people who lived in the four corners area of North America, Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico. The rugs and textiles were originally for there own utilitarian use but by the end of the 19th century Navajo weavers began to produce rugs for tourism and export. They are flat woven on a vertical loom and are similar to Kilims (Kelims) of the the middle east and Asia. The new Navajo rugs typically have geometric designs  with bright  earthy colours.
