They will never be woven with fringe on the ends.&nbsp; In fact, it is physically impossible to weave a rug with fringe on both ends on a Navajo loom. </p><p><br /></p><p>From the photos, it appears to be Mexican, based on the way the fringe is tied off, or possibly Chimayo (Hispanic, northern New Mexico).&nbsp; But, in any event, definitely not Navajo or Native American.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
