Burntwater
47" x 35"
Burntwater rugs were created to bring out the best features of the Navajo weaving art. The focus is on fineness of weave, exacting symmetry and a wide ranging palate of pastel colors derived from Navajoland herself. Navajo artist Ruth Nelwood has fashioned a rug worthy of the Burntwater classification. She presents beauty, balance, a superior weave and a soft, delicate sense of the earth and sky through her fiber art. This rug is a portrait of what is fascinating and endearing about the people of the desert Southwest

plant instead of skins for their clothing. So this seed was planted in the earth? More about this legend
