And the whirling log image can limit its value: some people get tired of having to explain again and again that it predates the swastika, that...
I'm going to say, @2manybooks is amazing. Definitely Navajo. Definitely pre- 1930.
Is this yours @Boland? I'd describe it as non representational and see a kind of 'ordered chaos', a mixture of frantic, frenetic individual small...
Howdy!
It's my opinion that this is a kilim of some sort, not all that old, and is likely woven from cotton, not wool. Perhaps I'm wrong. I'll wait for...

Based on your fingertips in picture #2, it looks quite big!! Dude, you got 1& exclamation marks from Komo! Wow!
I can't tell size, exactly, but if those boards are each one-piece, and all clean grain, then that was an old tree. Not many of those trees left...
Also the source of the name of the month 'January.' Looking both forward and back. (One of my favorite anecdotes.)
