Ganado Rug by Arnold Begay (Navajo)

Woven in reddish brown, two shades of grey, white and black on a red background, this Ganado rug has an intricate pattern of a central terraced diamond inside a terraced border.  It's small size makes it good for hanging on the wall, draping over the back of a chair or even on a table.

Ganado rugs are considered the quintessential Navajo rugs.  This style was developed with the influence and guidance of renowned trader Juan Lorenzo Hubble in the 1870s.  He encouraged the weavers he bought rugs from to use natural colors, with the exception of the deep red that has become known as "Ganado red."
