<p>[QUOTE="Tomaso, post: 1204951, member: 12826"]Hello Everyone,</p><p>To the gurus... This indian rug has me stumped trying to ID it. I bought the rug from my elderly neighbor down the street here in CT. She had a tag sale and this rug was on the wall hidden by a shelf. I caught the edge of it while looking around and bought it. I asked her the history how she acquired it and she told me that she and her husband bought it from a indian tribe in New Hampshire 50 years ago. They told her it was quite old. The rug baffles me because it looks South American yet it has the Navajo symbol of the triangles. I'm pretty sure it is not Navajo because the tassles. Maybe Zapotec? Any thoughts is much appreciated.</p><p>Regards,</p><p>Tom</p><p>[ATTACH=full]214091[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]214092[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]214094[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
