Description:
This unfinished weaving is displayed upside down on an upright handloom. Half finished, the wool weaving (likely meant to be a small rug) displays a horizontal zigzag pattern in colors of aniline dyed red, yellow, black, and green wool. Aniline dyes made their way into Southwestern Native communities in the 1880s, whereas wool from domesticated sheep were introduced long before in the 1600s. AP2018
