<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 9555397, member: 8267&quot;]There have been a number of discussions on this forum about the distinguishing characteristics of Navajo weavings. You can search (using the search box in the top right corner) in both &quot;Textiles, Needle Arts, Clothing&quot; and &quot;Tribal Art&quot; for &quot;Navajo Rugs&quot; to look at previous threads and examples. You might want to narrow the search to posts by members Taupo and 2manybooks.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the meantime, it looks like the first weaving you show was correctly identified as Navajo, and the second is likely as well. Both are probably a type referred to as &quot;Gallup throws&quot; - small samplers made for sale along the railroad lines. I hesitate slightly about the second one, just because the end finish on one end, with the cut and knotted warps, is not characteristic of larger Navajo weavings. But these throws were made quickly, often using less quality materials as well, and I suspect were made using a single warp setup for more than one textile.</p><p><br /></p><p>This website has a brief discussion of Gallup throws and some good examples -</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.medicinemangallery.com/native-american-art/navajo-rugs-navajo-blankets-for-sale/gallup-throws-and-samplers" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.medicinemangallery.com/native-american-art/navajo-rugs-navajo-blankets-for-sale/gallup-throws-and-samplers" rel="nofollow">https://www.medicinemangallery.com/native-american-art/navajo-rugs-navajo-blankets-for-sale/gallup-throws-and-samplers</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
