Navajo Two Grey Hills Rug - Phyllis James (#02)
$1,350.00
Artist: Phyllis James
Navajo Rug
37" x 26 1/2"
Phyllis James has woven this most excellent example of the Two Grey Hills style of Navajo textiles. Two Grey Hills is located to the east of the Chuska Mountains and south of Shiprock, New Mexico. Navajo rugs from this area feature intricate designs woven with natural sheep wool in varying hues of brown, cream and grey, anchored with black and white. The black is typically over-dyed to make a more solid contrast with the other colors. Two Grey Hill rugs will typically have a single or double serrated design as the central focus within the weaving. Other design elements such as geometrics, stair steps, even occasionally, pictorial elements will take up the balance of the weaving. A dark border typically surrounds the interior design elements. As mentioned, this one is superb.
