I defer right back at ya !!!! You found an identical rug........ Navajo's don't make identical rugs.......... imo!!
I didn’t do an image search on it. That sure does look to be the same rug! I didn’t have a good feeling about this one but better safe than sorry! Still could be worth buying if the price is right. They’ll probably price it as authentic though. Thanks!
