Southwest Rugs
 
 

Navajo rugs are unique in design as well as construction. The designs developed from simple striped designs woven in the 18th century. These designs altered and increased in complexity when the settlers came to the Southwest. They carried along rugs made in the Middle East. The tribal designs from Turkey, North Africa, and Iran used diamond shapes and other geometric figures woven in a tapestry weave. The Middle Eastern tribal designs were introduced to the Native Americans who prepared a blended design that were included few of the designs of the Middle Eastern rugs. It was quite easy for the Native Americans as the method of weaving was very alike.
