<p>[QUOTE="Taupou, post: 279617, member: 45"]The rug is Navajo, circa 1920s. The symbol was associated with good luck, and commonly found on Navajo rugs, Pueblo pottery, and other crafts from many cultures, world-wide, until it became associated with Nazi Germany in the 1930s. Because the symbolism had changed, it quickly became unpopular, and vanished from use by craftspeople. Now, however, it does help date the items to pre-1935 or so.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
