About this weaving

Burntwater Navajo rug for sale, circa 1990.  This weaving is finely woven and combines all natural vegetal dyes in both pastels and earth tones.   During this time frame Ruth Ann would have died the wool herself from plants in the Three Turkey Ruin Area and Steve would have given her the wool.  He imported New Zealand Romney wool and had it custom spun for them.  Working as JB Moore did, supplying the weavers with the best materials to weave the highest quality textiles,  Steve worked with Ruth Ann in the late 1980's into the 1990's. 
This weaving had been in Steve's personal collection since.  During that time frame Steve was buying Navajo weavings directly from the weavers and then supplying the high end art galleries dealing in Native American Art.  This one he just could not part with and has been in his personal collection since.  Now, for the first time it is being offered.
