Two Gray Hills Rug by Annie Jack (Navajo)

Ruth Yazzie has used a complex pattern in white and medium brown that resembles flowers on a trellis in this earthy Two Gray Hills weaving. The lines in white and medium brown are set on backgrounds of beige and dark brown.

Named for a trading post on the Navajo Reservation in New Mexico, the Two Gray Hills style of Navajo weaving is considered by many as a classic.  Weavers from that area used wool in its natural colors -- white, black, and brown, with grays and tans obtained by carding the black or brown wool with white.  The center of the design is usually one or two elongated, terraced diamonds, surrounded by more geometric motifs, and finished with a dark outside border.
