Ganado - Klagetoh Pictorial Runner : Historic : GHT 2111 : 57" x 134" : (4’9″ x 11’2″)

Ganado-Klagetoh Navajo rug.  Now this is a very unusual Ganado - Klagetoh  for a couple of reasons.  One rare quality is it was woven as a runner - narrow, and very long.  This piece is 11 feet long!  2nd is the pictorial elements - two corn plants, the symbol for life, in the center of the design. And beautiful displays of bows and arrows and feathers to showcase the corn. Hidden on top of the corn are two little blue birds with red legs. Bluebirds are messengers to the gods.  3rd - take a look at the saw tooth outline of the upper and lower diamonds which give it a 3 dimensional appearance.   This piece was woven with Ganado red, and features a gorgeous natural field of variegated browns. The colors, quality, and condition of this rug are exceptional.  This weaving was part of the 2016 /2017 Exhibition : Painting with Wool : Navajo Pictorial Weavings exhibit at Nizhoni Ranch Gallery and is on page 26 of the catalog for the show.
