    I think it'll be hard for anyone to tell its origin unless they've seen identical rugs and know the source.

    This isn't anyone's official name for the style but one I just made up: "Reservation Revival." Use it if you like, blame it on me if it causes trouble.

    I've never seen a rug with a saw tooth edge....
    it looks more like a bolt of heavy fabric......from what I can see !

    That "pinked" edge made me wonder what and why also. ;)

    Edge is smooth-look again-just a dark-dyed sawtooth design on the edge. OP should show a closeup pic of the backside to see what the weave looks like.

    ya, what at first looks like a shadow , appears now to be a brown edge design.
