Description

GENUINE NAVAJO RUG:  ARE YOU SURE?
by Noel Bennett, Museum of Native Ceremonial Arts (now the Wheelwright Museum), and the Navajo Tribal Council, Santa Fe, NM, 1973.
Differentiating between authentic Navajo rugs and Mexican imports with similar materials and design can be challenging, but with this booklet the buyer can be aware.  This book describes the characteristics of authentically woven Navajo rugs, their “nubby” fibers, four-tasseled finishes and other traits.  Mexican imported look-alikes may make for fine, functional use within a home but they should not be sold at inflated prices or passed off as genuine Navajo textiles. If you are considering purchasing Navajo rugs, you will want to know how to spot imitations and also how to spend, or not to spend, your dollars for Native American collectible rugs.
6.4“ x 8.5“ stapled softback in very good condition.  21 pages.
