    This has been on my parents' wall for about 50 years. They got it out west late 1960s to early 70s. It's wool. I'd love for someone to tell me it's a Navajo rug.

    Sorry, but not Navajo. The fringe along the bottom edge, and the double thickness of the warps on the side indicate that it was made on a floor loom. Most probably Mexican, by Zapotec weavers -

    There have been many discussions about the characteristics of genuine Navajo rugs here on the forum. Try a search for "Navajo rug" posted by Taupou.

    A handsome rug nevertheless.

    That makes a lot of sense as my parents traveled extensively through Mexico.
