About the Item
This exceptional vintage Navajo rug, woven in the 1930s, is a rare and striking example of Ganado pictorial weaving. Handwoven by a Diné (Navajo) artisan using native handspun wool, the rug features a bold bow and arrow motif—symbolic elements deeply rooted in Navajo cultural tradition. Rich natural fleece colors—ivory, brown, black, and gray—are accented with vibrant aniline-dyed red, creating a visually powerful composition with strong graphic contrast.
Originating from the historic Hubbell Trading Post in Ganado, Arizona—established in the late 19th century—this textile represents one of the most important centers of Navajo weaving in the Southwest. Located in the heart of the Navajo Nation, the Ganado region is renowned for its high-quality rugs featuring red-dominant palettes, strong geometric patterns, and spiritual symbolism.
Measuring beautifully for display or use, this Southwestern rug is highly versatile—it can serve as a floor covering, a tapestry wall hanging, or a unique textile throw. Its excellent condition and finely executed design make it a standout addition to any collection of Native American textiles or historic Southwestern decor.
A timeless piece of Navajo craftsmanship and cultural heritage.

Vintage Native American Navajo Rug in Eye Dazzler Pattern in Ivory, Red, Black
Located in Barrington, IL
A dynamic and visually captivating example of traditional Navajo textile art, this early 20th-century Eye Dazzler rug is handwoven in the American Southwest with striking geometric intensity. The design features two vertical columns of varied diamond motifs, rendered in vivid ivory, red, and black, set against a warm oatmeal-toned ground.
Woven from hand-spun wool on a cotton foundation, this rug displays a fine weave and high knot density, hallmarks of exceptional Navajo craftsmanship. The Eye Dazzler pattern, known for its optical energy and precision, became popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and continues to represent a bold expression of cultural identity and artistry.
The color palette, achieved through natural, plant-based dyes, reflects the earthy vibrancy of the Southwestern landscape, while the diamond motifs carry deep symbolic resonance within Navajo spiritual tradition.
This rug remains in excellent, original condition and serves as both a decorative statement and a collectible piece of Native American heritage. Whether showcased as wall art or a floor covering, it offers a rare blend of historical authenticity and modern visual impact.
