<p>[QUOTE="reader, post: 2054643, member: 255"]Just want to add that my understanding was that there was a 1940 agreement between the US and the Native American community IN the US that the “whirling log” which looks like a swastika would no longer be used. To the best of my knowledge this agreement was only between the US and NA people in the US and had nothing to do with the similar emblem used in other cultures and therefore cannot be used to date other items like the OP’s rug as pre WWll (which it may well be or not). Please correct me if this is not true. TY.</p><p><br /></p><p>Conversely I have always used this fact to date Navajo rugs with whirling logs as pre 1940.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
