Mid- 20th Century. (1940's - 1980's.)

The warp (the structural base threads) and the weft (the colored design threads visible on the surface) are both hand-spun or hand-carded from wool. Rich red, deep black, and bright white elements are created by natural and synthetic dyes over wool. While the variegated gray sections are typically made by carding together natural white and black sheep fibers.
This beautiful rug falls into a highly desirable "Gallop Throw" or accent size. Perfect size for a premier Southwestern wall hanging, accent rug, or textile collection. Will be shipped carefully rolled with tracking and insurance. Please review all macro photos for proof of weaving authenticity.
