The history of Navajo weaving in the first half of the 20th century is designed for the general reader, gallery and museum goer, and especially for private and public collectors who are turning to rugs from this period as increasingly expensive and rare. The author has devised a compact guide to dating and identifying rugs by means of weaving materials and quality. Loaded with color and B&W photos of the rugs. Each plate has designated dates and weaving materials.
