About the Item
79298 Rare Antique Teec Nos Pos Southwestern-Style Rug, 02'07 x 04'09. In the high-altitude plateaus of the American Southwest—where sacred land meets sky in endless dialogue—this antique handwoven wool textile from the Teec Nos Pos region emerges as a radiant exemplar of indigenous artistry. Woven with ceremonial precision and intuitive geometry, the composition reveals an extraordinary trio of nested diamond medallions, each layered in concentric stair-stepped motifs. These forms, echoing celestial symmetry and elemental balance, pulse with visual intensity—brought to life through a desert-inspired palette of ochre golds, ember reds, earthen browns, and ivory whites. This piece is not merely decorative—it is a declaration of cultural inheritance and ancestral continuity.
Framed by a rare border of red arrow motifs set against a black ground, this exquisite work of art invokes sacred directionality and protection—symbolic motifs often used in ceremonial regalia and storytelling traditions. The serrated contours and zigzag forms throughout the exclusive composition recall lightning, feathers, and sacred peaks, converging in a layered visual language that communicates far beyond the visible. There is rhythm and reverence in every line—a silent invocation woven into form.
Crafted from handspun wool dyed with vegetal and aniline pigments, the surface reveals a sophisticated interplay of texture and tone. The weft and warp are tightly packed, showcasing the artisan’s exceptional control, while the chromatic depth affirms both the natural origin of the materials and the ethical lineage of the weaving. These are not industrial fibers—they are precious threads of generational knowledge spun by hand and heart.
Highly sought after by collectors, scholars, and museum curators, authentic textiles from the Teec Nos Pos region—especially in this medallion format—are increasingly scarce. To acquire such an extraordinary masterpiece is to take part in cultural preservation while investing in a one-of-a-kind object imbued with artistic, historic, and ethical significance. Whether showcased in a curated gallery or integrated into a refined interior steeped in soul, this textile offers more than status—it offers stewardship, a bridge between land, legacy, and living artistry.
