<p>[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 1525650, member: 8267"]No, definitely not Native American, (or Central or South American, either). There are some Caucasus/Afghan/Central Asian pieces that use flat weave combined with pile woven areas, but the pastel colors are not right for traditional pieces. The photo of the back is not clear enough for me to tell, but it looks like it might be done with a latch hook rather than traditional hand knotting. It might be someone's pastiche of techniques and styles, with no specific ethnic origin. The colors do look more like an Indian/Pakistani dhurrie, as AJ suggested, so perhaps it is a modern variant.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
