Teec Nos Pos

33" x 49"


"Teec Nos Pos, or Circle of Cottonwoods, is located on the north side of the Carrizo Mountains, near the four corners area. The weaving here displays strong Persian influence - and has since the early 1900s.

"This is probably due to photographs of such rugs being circulated among the weavers, by traders, for design ideas. Perhaps a broader diversity of materials is used in this weaving than anywhere else on the Reservation.

"Everything from handspun natural wool colors to brightly colored commercial yarns are combined in very intricately designed and, in general, very well woven rugs. Even vegetal dyed wools are used to a limited extent, with very pleasing results

"It is this broad diversity of materials combined with the very intricate design work that give the Teec Nos Pos such great appeal to collectors."

- from Ray Manley's Fine Art of Navajo Weaving (22)

This weaving is a nice example of a Teec Nos Pos in dramatic Ganado colors. The black background has even been attributed to the Dinnebito area of the Navajo Reservation where "midnight" rugs are popular.

This size and style has good eye appeal and provides good coverage. This particular color combination is neutral enough to work with just about any interior design scheme.

Our rug selection ranges from heavy-duty rugs that work well on the floor to table runners, and from wall hangings to fine tapestries. We try to hand-pick the best rugs at the best possible value. We believe this particular piece fits nicely into such a category.
