Description

The rug features a wonderfully and professionally crafted wool construction that shows a brown border with a off white and light brown inner ring with stepped decoration. The field is of light grey coloration with medallions set in the center numbering five with off white, light brown, dark brown, and heathered brown coloration. Bisti means badlands in Navajo. The region is located just off NM Route 371 about an hour south of Farmington and 90 miles North of I-40. The Old Bisti Trading Post has been closed for some time. The Bisti Navajo Rugs are the rarest of the Regional Navajo Rugs. Characteristic of the Bisti weavings are numerous borders surrounding a center field, sometimes up to nine borders. A thin checkered border is common in these rugs. Circles, Prayer Feathers and intricate complex geometric designs make up the field. The condition of this Navajo sampler rug is good with no obvious signs of damage and shows good overall condition. The measurements of this rug is 26" x 15 1/2". The thread count is 165 threads per square inch.
