[QUOTE="Potteryplease, post: 9541095, member: 16407"]Definitely no washing machine! And there's names other than 'swastika,' since that term has such horrendous connotations. At first glance it looked more like an antique (or nearly so) Chimayo weaving (from New Mexico, not Native American). But as with the other two, it may also be Navajo. The deciding factor is if the vertical warp threads are continuous, reaching the top and then 'turning' back down. Since the edges are so damaged it's hard to tell, but you should be able find a few warps that are intact: if they loop back down into the weaving, it's likely Navajo.[/QUOTE]
