About the Item
On offer is a rare antique Navajo rug, a truly magnificent piece of textile, circa 1920s-1930s. Distinguished in its massive size (68 by 131 inches), intricate designs and superb workmanship, this Klagetoh weaving is rather unusual in that instead of being grey in the background, it has a whitish tan background using natural-colored yarns. Klagetoh is related to Ganado in its iconic use of Ganado Red; but its design tends to center on an elongated diamond. This large rug also features Greek key-like hooks along the diamond, an influence from the oriental design, an intricate border of steeped red triangles, and full and half grey diamond with arrows and feathers on the corners.

Published Large Nazca Wari Textile Panel with Geometrical Design Framed
Located in Atlanta, GA
A large Nazca-Wari woven textile panel known as Llika or Awayo (shawl) from Ica Valley on the south coast of nowadays Peru. Professionally mounted and conversed on a linen-backed wood frame and presented in an acrylic shadow box. Shawls with this step design were identified as made from the period of 700 to 1100 AD during the transitional period when Nazca went under the expanded rule of the Wari empire. The textile was finely woven from a camelid fiber dyed with natural pigments. The work strikes the viewer immediately with its unexpected modernity. The simple, bold and repetitive geometry with the scintillating color blocks created a lyrical visual rhythm and could easily mistake it as an abstract art from the 20th century. The step design was one of the unusual abstract motifs used by the pre-Columbian weavers from Nazca, who created some of the most mysterious and soul-stirring work with a minimalism aesthetic that was rarely seen in any other ancient textile art. Considering that the artists were completely isolated without the influences of other cultures, their intrinsic creativity and artistic vision are even more impressive.
