On the Design:

This design enjoys a sharp tribal geometric pattern with two large-scale medallions in an idyllic colorway of bold red, slate grey, cream & deep black—a rustic array of tones which admirers of the craft will know as favored in Navajo weaving. Keen eyes will further admire the attention to detail—particularly in sharp, clean execution of these nomadic symbols (such as the latch hook detailing on the large diamonds and) in a larger size than many of the originals. This speaks to the soul of this collection, meant to be a contribution to a rich, cultured tradition of weaving that both honors its essence and lends it a comfortable, contemporary element with vast design applications today.
