<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Potteryplease, post: 9588782, member: 16407&quot;]It&#039;s hard to tell from the pictures. It does look promising, but I can&#039;t see the corners and edges very clearly, which are important in identification.</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=45]@Taupou[/USER] once noted that seeing the underlying white warp threads was rare, as Navajo weavings tend to be very tight and complete. </p><p><br /></p><p>If the &#039;widths&#039; of those warps in the black, where the clips are attached, are wider than the width of the warps that then extend below them into the red, gold and white, that means that loose warp cords were woven back into the textile and is an indication of a Mexican weaving. A Navajo weaving like this is made with a hugely long single continuous warp cord as the foundation and therefore has no fringe. Sometimes imitations sneak those loose ends back into the weaving to disguise it. </p><p><br /></p><p>(Hopefully all that makes sense <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" />)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
