It is attributed to the Red Mesa, Arizona weaving area and is in very good to excellent condition. It was handwoven by an advanced expert weaver on a primitive upright loom of all Native handshorn, handcarded and superbly handspun silky old long staple Churro and high quality Merino sheep wool, both weft & warp. Here is a terrific old Red Mesa Outline weaving with a great variegated grey field. Running full length of the grey field are very finely outlined serrated zigzag lightening bars.
