This piece was purchased out of pawn at the Cross Canyon Trading Post in the early 1960s. Likely woven c.1930.
Beautiful Alan! Why is it on the floor?

Love the bolo tie. According to Barton Wright, PJT was a hallmark used by Zuni Silversmith Percy J Tsadiasi beginning in 1972.
That's a brilliant rug, Alan! And, yes, it was woven to be a floor covering. My wife and I have now spent enough time in Taos and Santa Fe buying jewelry and admiring rugs that she's taken up weaving.......talk about a space intensive hobby! Incidentally, I'm the fellow that accosted you in Bob Hope airport a couple of years ago-hats and looms are both damaging to downsizing plans.Ha! I originally thought I would hang it, but after putting it on the floor to vacuum I decided to leave it. The rug has good weight and condition and is clearly intended as a floor covering. It's upstairs in a room that only sees slippers. Should be as happy there as hanging, I think.

Both are beauties Alan! @alanfgag
As a matter of fact hanging a rug is the worst thing you can do.Moths will get them.Walking on the rug makes the weave get tighter.Thats a nice Ganado.Ha!

Are the marks above the K a letter or a pictogram?
Those are some of the prettiest bisbee turquoise stones I've seen. Beauty.
