[QUOTE="Taupou, post: 4367352, member: 45"]Just might add, the first "rule" of rug identification is, if it is woven with fringe on both ends, it cannot be Native American Indian. The Navajo are the only U.S. tribe that weaves rugs on looms, with an interlocking tapestry stitch, and they use a unique type of loom and a continuous warping technique, that makes it impossible to to weave a rug with fringe on both ends on a Navajo loom.[/QUOTE]
