In Our Opinion:
This great vintage hooked rug has been exceptionally well kept and never used as a floor mat. Its colours are bright and vivid and there are no signs of any repairs and the condition is excellent. As this rug design has not been seen before, we can assume that it is a unique hand-drawn pattern executed by a very talented rug hooker.
As aboriginal Native American motif hooked rugs are not commonly found, this specimen, in outstanding colour and condition, should be considered a genuine rarity.
