- Storm Pattern Navajo Rugs

The Storm Pattern is not built around a central diamond, but is a very recognizable geometric composition with a strong, often rectangular central element connected by diagonal stepped lines to elements in each of the four corners. This design is said to be highly symbolic and associated with the all-important rainstorms in the growing season. Individual components include representations of the Navajos’ four sacred mountains, lightning bolts, snowflakes and waterbugs. Storm Pattern rugs are woven in an unlimited variety of colors.
Notable contemporary Storm Pattern weavers include Tina Conn, Lily Touchin, Betty Ann Nez, Elizabeth Tso, Lucinda Jody and Betty Lou Begay.
