Rug brought home from Arizona in 1904

Story is - the rug was given to my gr-grandparents in exchange for a barrel of apples on their travels through the Southwest. Any comments would be appreciated.

 

Welcome, A. Arndt! Are you having trouble posting pictures of your rug? Just ask if you need help. We'd love to hear more about your great grandparents' travels. too!

 

It's one of the most popular Mexican rug designs for the tourist market, a stereotyped Aztec/Mayan warrior in the middle of a Saltillo-inspired stripe pattern.

Not made in the U.S. and not a Navajo rug (if that's what you were led to believe.) And probably dating to the 1950s or so.

 

Thank you!

 

Lovely!!! It was in the Gallery!!!
