Vintage Navajo Rug by world renown Navajo artisan, Alice Yazzi, in the Two Grey Hills Style. It includes the original signed retail tag.
The Two Grey Hills Trading Post is over a century old, and one of the few remaining historic posts on the Navajo Indian Reservation. It is the primary source of authentic regional rugs and tapestries available.
Made of hand spun yarn from the fleece of naturally colored local sheep in shades of gray, brown, black and white. These weavings are known around the world as the finest in Navajo textiles.
The Two Grey Hills area was famous for creating the “Tapestry” quality weaving with over 80-120 weft threads to the inch. It was because this craftsmanship that the Navajo rug began to take its place on the walls of American homes and was first recognized as fine art.
Two Grey Hills rugs are typically woven with natural colored wool in white, black and shades of brown. These rugs are usually much finer in yarn, take much more time to make. These rugs often have a border and the patterns tend to be more complicated.
