Hundred Years of Navajo Rugs |
|
|

|
| This history of Navajo weaving is a revised,
expanded, and updated version of Marian Rodee's
1981 classic Old Navajo Rugs: Their Development
from 1900 to 1940. Designed for the general
reader, museum goer, or collector, it offers
a guide to identifying and dating rugs by
means of weaving materials. Wool quality,
the author explains, is the single most important
clue to the date of a rug's manufacture.
